Had a quiet overnight stay in the hotel and meal in the restaurant. Room was perfect for our needs and had a lovely sea view. The 'locals' in the bar were great to talk to and very pleasant. …

Our room was clean which is the biggest thing. Our view was good but there were better Seaview rooms which unfortunately we didn't get. Our room was small, our bed was a small queen but it was comfy. We were above the bar which was noisy for most of the day, it didn't really bother us but if you were looking for peace and quiet this would disturb you.The smoking area for the pub is the same use entrance for hotel guests which can be intimidating when trying to push past people to get in and out.The breakfast was beautiful and the female waitress was amazing, we wished we'd had cash to leave her a tip but we'd used it the day before in the local shop.Overall its a comfy hotel with nice staff, pretty much ticks all the boxes for the money paid.
