I didnt stay but had a Christmas do there. Went for a Christmas do on Friday and couldnt fault the staff, nor the food. The beef was to die for, absolutely gorgeous! Id also like to give a huge shout out to Adam who was one of the waiters on Friday. He went above and beyond and had a proper laugh with us all.
Honestly cannot wait to be back one day!

This hotel is excellent value for money. Perfect to stay before getting the Chunnel or travelling back. I read a few reviews that were a bit negative so I didnt have high hopes. Firstly parking is very easy if the parking at the hotel is full. You can park on the street, just be sure to pay at reception. Our room was a basic twin. Very clean, good size bathroom and large wardrobe that you could walk into. View of the sea was a bonus. If you can, eat at the hotel. We are at the bar not grill. It was excellent. The drinks, food, service and staff were 5 star. Quality selection. We didnt have

We recently booked in a standard room at this hotel for 2 nights from Sun 5 to Tues 7 Sep 2021. We got parking onsite the small car park, and the whole booking and check-in process was a breeze. The hotel was of a high standard and close to the Leas walk way. During that time we were met and greeted at reception by staff who were very friendly and helpful. The grounds were lovely too. Enjoyed our stay and recommend it.

Really good place which is made by the friendly, helpful staff. An old building but the room was fresh, good big shower and comfy bed. Handy for the town centre and insight of the sea. Smallish car park is the only downside but seemingly enough parking on the local roads, immediately outside via a permit for a few pounds. Breakfast during COVID times is a generous grab-bag of items. Didn't try the dining room or other facilities, no reason to think the quality and value would be any different to the rest of the hotel.
