Some beautiful antiques, has charm, unique. Main areas are cluttered, we weren’t sure if we were staying in a museum, art gallery or antiques market. Bathrooms & bedding, whilst clean, need updating.

An Edwardian seaside gem
Our stay overall was good. The hotel is a charming step back in time capsule to the Edwardian era. Friendly staff and a fine buffet breakfast. Double bed could have been a bit wider as had difficulty sleeping. Museum of old objects from the hotels previous existence, well worth a visit.
