the room was very clean i discovered everything i needed! the location is awesome and the staff were very friendly and helpful to me. the sea view from my room was really something, and there was a shared kitchen fully equipped so i could self cater!
the hotel being on top of a pub means the music continues very late it can be a little noisy. even on the top floor the noise was there!

Charming Stay with Veteran Support
clean roomcentral locationsupport veterans
I found the location excellent, just minutes from transportation options. The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable for my stay. I was especially charmed to know that money is raised to support veterans..
The water pressure in the shower could be a bit stronger, but this is a minor point.

My room offered a sea view and a large comfortable bed which guaranteed a good night's sleep. The communal kitchen had all necessary equipment, so self-catering was easy and convenient. It included facilities to prepare meals.

The bar area showcased photos, medals, and plaques of various regiments and squadrons. I saw a plaque of The Queen's Regiment, a welcome and pleasant surprise. The bar provided a glimpse into military history.

Convenient location, GREAT experience
victorian buildingcute environmentlive music
I booked initially for convenient access to the hover port. The bus station is also literally on the doorstep. The regulars created a wonderful environment. The live music IS amazing and added greatly to the experience.
The music from the pub went on quite late on some evenings.
Location

The hotel is situated ideally for accessing public transport. Bus stops are directly outside, providing easy connections. The proximity to the hovercraft terminal offers convenient access to travel. The train station is also nearby for further travel options.

Decent stay
cozy bedssea viewloud musiclate hours
The room was excellent it was well kept and clean. I booked the double bed with a sea view and it was worth it. The beds were cozy a fan was a big plus during the summer.
The hotel is on top of a pub and the music would not stop until very late. I was lucky to stay at the top floor and still the music was too loud. The noise impacted my ability to sleep.
