Could really do with some repairs and more attention to detail on the cleanliness. Noisy bed frames, creaky floorboards, a horrible damp smell, broken shower door handle, really old and damaged shower head, cracks on walls and the bathroom floor was lifting up. Staff was attentive and the location was ok, but overall not a great stay.

Lovely 5 night stay

I stayed in a basic room which was more than adequate. The bed was super comfy. There was also plenty of tea and coffee. The room was nice and clean. I would definitely return.

Gosh. Crumbling frontage held up with scaffolding. Breakfast only served at weekends but given the grubby state of the staff and the hotel, i wouldn't risk it. Shower and sink so full of black mould i left unwashed. Dreadful place.

Beautiful.

The 1876 property was in wonderful shape, the room had lots of channels on TV, and the staff was friendly and informative. And it was only a short walk to the seaside. My stop in St'. Leonard's!

OK but needs serious maintenance and repair.

This hotel has seen better days. Lovely old building but sadly neglected and poorly converted. Would make an excellent restoration project for someone with deep pockets. Inside is neglected and shabby. Room was OK but in need of maintenance and repair. Breakfast was OK. On the plus side, well it was cheap for the area.

The view over the painted front facades and roof tops of the Victorian houses further down in West Hill gave way to the sea and sky on the horizon. There was a gentle breeze coming in from the window cooling the high temperature of the day. The external lighting of the grounds was turned off around about the time I went to bed, so there was no light intrusion from outside - which was great. The clean, modern hard laminate style flooring in the room was clean and well maintained, with carpeted communal areas for sound proofing. Very nice welcome, comfortable double bed. Slept very well. The ensuite shower in my room was small, attractive and very clean. It looked recently updated with metro tiles and new flooring, the water pressure was excellent. Parking on the premises was easy.

It is in dire need of a refurbishment. The walls need re-painting. New furniture is needed. I had a wardrobe where one of the doors was non existent because it was broken & a broken leg on a stool. The wind was very strong & blowing through the windows. I wouldn’t recommend this property.

The property was of a poor standard for the cost of the room. No washing products were in the bathroom. The toilet flush was broken. The window vibrated when you moved in the room.

If you are expecting the Ritz, well this isn't, however, at the prices it never could be. A very tired property. The shower was powerful with plenty of hot water. The bed was very comfortable and I enjoyed a wonderful night's sleep.

Very nice hotel and pub, but was let down by one female member of staff who was very rude and therefore let the establishment down somewhat. But overall a nice place to stay.
