“Spot on location near the promenade, staff were brilliant and everything was up to scratch. We got a double room with dressing gowns and an iron as booked. Breakfast was a highlight – proper hot with the best bacon and eggs cooked just right. This place ticked every box, highly recommend.”

9.3Verified guest

“Absolutely fantastic hotel. Immaculately clean, the couple running it were lovely and always friendly, even at the crack of dawn. It's right between the Pleasure Beach and the Tower, but don't let that worry you – the street itself is very, very quiet.”

“The owners were incredibly welcoming and helpful – nothing was too much trouble. Our family room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The modern decor was a pleasant bonus. Breakfast was hearty, with cereal, yoghurt, and fruit juice alongside plenty of hot options. I'd certainly return.”
