“From what I gathered, this pub stay seems to have a real community heart, offering a genuine slice of local life alongside its rooms; I imagine the sounds of laughter from the bar drift upstairs, a backdrop to your stay. It is a place where you might easily find yourself chatting with locals over a pint, before heading out to explore the nearby beach, if you are lucky. A practical choice for those seeking a down-to-earth base.”

pleasant stay near the sea
spacious room double bed nice decor
The room was spacious, with a lot of space in the living room area. The two bedrooms were a very good size, and each had good size double beds. The decor was nice, and the whole place was clean. Parking round the back of the pub was easy.
The noise from the bakery next door at 5.30 am did wake me. The constant noise of trays and palettes was rather loud. I was not able to get back to sleep.
Location

The hotel is conveniently located near shops and restaurants. The beach is a comfortable 10-15 minute walk away. A bus stop right outside offers easy transport.

the member of staff was very cute. he told us if we needed anything to let him know. we liked the room and how it accommodated us as a family of 5.
Doors stick, needing a good shove. This made a lot of noise on entry. the shower door wasn't ideal when returning late at night.

The staff were helpful. The location has easy access to town. Parking at back was very safe. This was very important to me. The locals are friendly and always ready for a chat.
The bathroom needed a little more attention to detail with dusting.

I appreciated the separate living room in our family room as it had a double sofa bed, TV, fridge and tea facilities. I also found the two showers and separate toilet very convenient. The location was convenient, with a Tesco Express, bakery, and fish and chip shop nearby.
I noticed that the umbrella's were not put down and they made noise outside our room in the wind.

large bedroom separate living room dated room unpleasant smell
The family room offered ample space for everyone! We had a large bedroom and a separate living room, this was quite handy. I noticed two showers were available and a separate toilet too.
The room felt a bit dated, I think some updates would improve the experience. There WAS a slight issue with the toilet, it seemed to have a hole in the wall that let in an unpleasant smell.
