We booked the hotel for one night with breakfast. Managed to park our car easily, but when busy, I would imagine you would struggle. First come first served and leave it there. We had a standard double room. The room seemed too small for the amount of furniture. I understand some people may want a chair to watch the world go by, but having 2 chairs seemed a bit much. We moved the chair by the door when we were in the room. So out of the way. There was a wardrobe, chest of drawers, and a dressing table, the mirror was a little too high when sat there, so a bit of a waste. Although there was plenty of furniture it all seemed a bit cluttered when the tea and coffee making things were there. The bathroom was small, corner shower and a corner sink a bit awkward, opening the door when someone stood at the sink. There was soap bar and shower gel supplied. Hairdryer in set of drawers. The room was cosy, it wasnt plush or modern. The carpet was almost what I used to see in my grans house, like an Axminster pattern. However, the room was clean, just cramped with furniture. The hotel is quirky, sloping steps, if you have mobility issues you may need a ground floor room. The drawing room was lovely, beautiful mirrors and light and airy. The reading room was cosy. The bar was bright and had a lovely clock, a bottle of local beer was £6. Breakfast was in a bright room. Nice compact selection of cooked items, fruit and cereal. The breakfast was very good and the waitress extremely friendly, nothing was too much trouble.

“A great stay in all respects.”

From my call to make the booking through to our check out today we felt like guests that the whole team cared about. We loved the peace, quiet and spaciousness of the suite, the ambiance and choice in the bar (helped along by Philipe, who is a great bar host) and the updated restaurant (we sat in the older version last in 2008). Yes, understandably, the hotel has its quirks and that is part of its appeal, being a grade one listed building, you marvel at bygone designs mixed wherever possible by modern twists. Breakfast choices were very good and all served with a smile, whilst the evening restaurant team were attentive, friendly and welcoming. Lastly, the choice and quality of all the dishes we tried from the dinner menus each of the three nights we stayed was commendable and very enjoyable. Thank you! Until our next visit…..

“Short stay OK”

A traditioal seaside hotel with the bonus of being in a lovely historic building and in great location. I can understand why people make return visits as he staff are welcoming and the hotel has a familiar, old school feel.

A traditioal seaside hotel with the bonus of being in a lovely historic building and in great location. I can understand why people make return visits as he staff are welcoming and the hotel has a familiar, old school feel. The accommodation was very clean but the standard room was small and lacked anywhere to put things. Perhaps mounting TV and mirror on wall would free up flat surfaces for practical use of room. There were few electrical sockets and none by the bed so phone charging and use of required medical CPAP equpment tricky( we carry extension lead and adapters just in case and they were needed). Bathroom was immaculate but very dated and not great water pressure. Double bed was quite comfy but rocked and wobbled a bit every time you rolled over! Breakfast was fresh but unexciting...I expected some nice breads ,croissants or pastries not just sliced bread toast(again a bit dated, felt like 1970s but people seem to love it...why change if the rooms are full?!) This was fine for one night.

“A little disappointing.”

Not quite as "perfect" as one might expect at £518 for two nights bed and breakfast... The Cambridge suite suffers from a number of issues ... the primary of which being persitant unpleasant odours from the bathroom, exacerbated by the fact that bathroom door has no positive latch to keep it tight… lisää

Not quite as "perfect" as one might expect at £518 for two nights bed and breakfast... The Cambridge suite suffers from a number of issues ... the primary of which being persitant unpleasant odours from the bathroom, exacerbated by the fact that bathroom door has no positive latch to keep it tightly shut..... The smell seems not to be caused by traps drying out,. . as they were all flushed, to no avail..... but rather to be from backflow from the air extraction system..... Attention was drawn to this issue at checkout.... Hopefully action will be taken....... Another sleep depriving issue, which would be more costly to resolve in such an old building, is the lack of adequate inter-floor soundproofing ... every footstep and floorboard creak from the room above can be plainly heard...... The occupants were not at all to blame. A couple of spiders over the bed are unpreventable, but need to be kept an eye open for at all times. Breakfasts were excellent..!!
