“Comfortable and very friendly.”

Comfortable, clean and quiet. The owner was fantastic - extremely helpful and accomodating. If I had one suggestions it would be to add showers to the rooms that just have a bath - even if they just pop onto the taps. But this was not really a problem. I would recommend the hotel without question, and, very handy for our dive trip out of seaham.

“Smelly”

Terrible smell of urine and damp from the ensuite. The bedding had fabrese or something very pungent on it to try to cover up the smell. The bed side table top was sticky and dirty. The cup for tea was also dirty inside. The windows in the room were painted over therefor unable to open them to let some air in, also a health and safety issue had there been a fire. The breakfast at the hotel was acceptable. The staff and manager were nice and helpful but would not stay there again unless there was a remarkable improvement, and might I suggest the fitted carpet in the bathroom be lifted as I think that is where the awful smell is coming from.
