Guest Reviews

• minister of large (10/5): - Location was great clean & comfortable room New door locking system takes a little while to get used to. Once you do it's fine.
• Damon (4/5): Not the room or even the guest house i paid for - Nothing about the property When we arrived, the room was not available at the beach house so we got switched to a different guest house it became clear that the property is being used to house a number of long‑term residents, which I wasn’t made aware of beforehand. This changed the atmosphere quite a lot from what I expected when booking a guest house for a short stay. The hallway often smelled strongly of cooking and smoke and the kitchen area was very busy throughout the day. Washing was put in the hall way to dry on radiators. My daughter also felt uncomfortable with the large group of men gathered and smoking cigarettes outside the front of the building when we arrived, which made the check‑in experience quite unsettling. Inside the room, a few things weren’t as expected either — there was no kettle for tea or coffee, the shower door was broken, and there was quite a bit of dust. For the £140 I paid, I had expected a more comfortable and accurate experience based on the listing. I do appreciate that the lady who checked us in did her best, but overall the stay didn’t match what I believed I was booking, and I felt I didn’t have much choice once we arrived. I’d be grateful if you could review the situation on your side. I have messaaged the property a number of times but had no response i feel very let down by this.
• Natalie (1/5): Avoid this place - I couldnt get hold of staff to find a kettle. When i eventually found one and made a tea it tasted awful, the milk had expired in january. My litttle one had a nosebleed in the night and when i went to use shower it had no shower head so couldnt shower. I was also on my monthly with no shower facilites.. pillows were uncomfortable and the room itself wasnt that clean. When i tried to reach someone i was unable to. We left and had to pay out to sleep elsewhere. When tried to reach the hosts to work out a resolve they even refused to refund half which i think is fair. Had to go through booking.com to do this. They have only offered the commission on the property to travel credits so wasnt impressed. Will not stay again avoid here. May not use booking.com again with them advertising this on site but not helping with a refund for a room that doesnt even supply basic shower facilities..
• Judy (1/5): It was very dirty and unceptable to rent - There was no breakfast as avertised Every thing was run down and not worth the money There was no breakfast as advertised so had to buy out extra £100 not excepted
• Ailsa (9/5): Value for money - Nice clean room ...comfy bed .. loved my little balcony i coulld vape on .. Very small tv ..
• Shaun (7/5): - Guests need to have more consideration at night and keep the noise down,.
• andrew (8/5): Comfortable and affordable stay. - Convenience and facilities. Room was comfortable enough and en-suite functional and clean if a bit small. Parking was a bit hard to find close by initially but it worked out in the end. Room was comfortable but a bit dated - it had all that was essential however, including a fridge.
• Hei Tung (10/5): Cosy spot to stay for a short trip - Excellent location! Close to everything I need. Very friendly stuff, comfy environment as well. Reasonable price You can tell the hotel has been here for quite a while but it’s totally acceptable for this price. Nothing to complain about.
• wendy (6/5): - Staff helpful No breakfast
• Lynsay (9/5): - Very central, liked that we had a key and were able to come and go as we liked and check out was very easy Nothing
• brian (10/5): - Good place to stay close to all shops and restaurants and bars Nothing
• Chrissie (1/5): - Nothing, the building is very run down and dirty. Only stayed 1 night as didn't feel safe staying there. All of it.
• Maksym (10/5): -
• Terence John (10/5): House - The closeness to the beeches is fantastic Every time I moved in my single bed and room was very noisy
• James (5/5): Really nice, apart from the things we have mentioned in previous comments - Liked the balcony, quiet and was a nice stay Tv was out dated for my firestick door wouldn’t shut on bathroom, the little was annoying as had to carry the kettle lead as it was attached
• Arron (7/5): -
• Leslie (7/5): I did not use the living room. - Value for money. Location of Beach house, it is very central for everything. The staff who greeted me and spoke to me during my stay were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, but more attention to under the bed as previous guest had dropped items that had not been removed when cleaning.
• minister of large (10/5): Single traveller - Great location and smooth check in . Perfect for my stay. Al was good
• David (5/5): - The location Dirty fridge with food left in. Cold room. No lamps only full room light. No bin in bedroom. Loose bombay mix in a draw. Owner took 15 mins to come to the building. Staff not on site. Kitchen not in use.only 3 small pots of milk and only 2 small bottles of water. We would not recommend this place to anyone. Balcony was filthy couldn't use the furniture. She did help us with the luggage though.
• Howard (4/5): Disappointing and would not stay at this hotel again !! - Location was perfect . But the hotel was disappointing inside and out . More attention to cleanliness in the room . And overall appearance was very tired and dated . A Coffee tray had not been cleaned properly and lamp switches were very dirty . Piĺows were stained and not pleasant 😒
• Memetovic (4/5): -
• Harry (9/5): Very good stay - Nice and friendly comfortable room Shower door to close properly, but being picky
• mullane (4/5): - Location, WiFi, TV and parking permit. No hot water in sink, asked about it and was told it's on a timer and they would change it but never had any for our entire stay. Living room light was on a sensor and would turn off while reading or watching TV, you had to move to make it come back on,.not good at all. Finally, if you book the ground floor unit, described as wheelchair friendly, don't be decieved. There's a deep step down to the room which I struggled with while using a crutch and once in the room a wheelchair would not fit between the furniture to get into the bedroom or the bathroom which would be a tight fit if you could get a wheelchair in there. I would not advise a wheelchair user to stay here and think that claiming it's wheelchair friendly is wrong.
• Paula (9/5): It was a nice stay and spent most of my time out only thing that let it down was not having breakfast - The room was ideal for me and in walking distance to beach The fact didn’t have breakfast as being a b+b there normally do have breakfast
• michael (5/5): - Location The bed was squeaky and uncomfortable. You could hear noise from all rooms during the night.
• Scott (1/5): Bad -
• Martin (10/5): Exceptional - Location and it was comfortable Na
• Simon (10/5): Exceptional - The staff were very kind and helpful. Great location. The room was very clean, I would be more than happy to stay again
• Marius (5/5): Passable -
• Mandi (7/5): Good - Location was good and price Member of staff that greeted us was helpful and friendly Bonus fan and fridge in the room The shower leaked from the pipe more than the shower head and it wouldn't sit on its holder very well, took ages for the water to drain away No hot water in the sink tap Fan needs a clean
• Mindaugas (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect for money value, great location, staff brilliant,for sure coming back again
• David (10/5): Nice - It was very nice
• Mummasmith (8/5): Very good - Lovely young lady whom greeted us the room was basic but very comfortable only downfall was no net curtains on the windows which could have made our stay a little more private on a busy road. The big open window net curtains are needed
• Tracee (10/5): Exceptional - every thing nothing Zoe an amazing host
• Jan (4/5): Disappointing - Bed comfortable bed was clean She told us if we need more towels or tea coffee sugar or milk give her shout. But we did not see her my bin as over. Flowing by time we left
• David (4/5): Dissapointing. My fault for not booking more circumspectly. - Very helpful young lady to sign us in. Beds looked exactly as the brochure. It was grubby. Parking was difficult, even with an extra £10 voucher. Wrong part of town - my fault. We paid for two days but left and spent the second night in an hotel.
• Amrit (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stuart (5/5): I got what I paid for a short notice - Due to being let down by another hotel , I saw the banner saying rooms available. The young lady was very helpful and immediately helped and I had a room for the night . She went out of her way to help , I was very appreciative. The room was small and it was a hot day with only a tiny window for ventilation. Also not sugar to make a coffee in the morning .
• Sharon (3/5): Disappointing but clean and tidy - Location relatively close to the beach No personal contact but we had clear email instructions for lock box entry. No mattress cover. Metal poked through sheets. No air conditioning and the window couldn’t be part opened and locked
• Gruszecki (10/5): super...super... po prostu rewelacja...kochamy ten hotel :* - It was awesome, exactly what I expected..., everything as described....a very nice lady who accommodated us...and that balcony, that's my number 1...you can go out, smoke with your morning coffee and more:) As for us, we highly recommend it...and we will definitely come back All in all, for us there is nothing to find fault with... this place has its own atmosphere... and it is beautiful
• Bryan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Chantal (7/5): Good - location of the hotel easy self check in/ check out size of the room and it was clean extra shampoo and shower gel available bottle of water available in the room with a kettle and a selection of tea/coffee shower head and hose need to be replaced bathroom need a refresh
• Henning (4/5): 2 star room Needs attention - I like the staff good talk to and helpfull This room is run down, sink drain blocked. Used strong chemicals I bought. Sllow empty sink for water bed cover damage (personally a little fridge could be good for dairyproducts, bottlesof wateror canned drinks eg. Cola)
• Jacqueline (1/5): Bad - Bed comfortable Cupboards and wardrobes didn't smell pleasant, no hot water in sink in bathroom, net curtain didn't fit in the bedroom, skirting boards dirty
• Palmer (8/5): Very good -
• Jane (7/5): Good - No breakfast. Good location
• Deborah (4/5): Good Location/damp & old - The local to the seafront was good. Our room smelt damp & musty. Doors & draws didn't shut properly. The place was very tired in need of alot of updating
• Handel (7/5): Good -
• Alan (8/5): very satisfactory - location was fine for what I needed. did not have breakfast because of early starts. Very good value for money room could do with an update in presentation however the things that mattered most were a good nights sleep and washing facilities. well worth the price paid
• Joseph (4/5): Disappointing -
• John (4/5): A very disappointed stay..,too many problems - Not applicable No hot water,basin wouldn't drain, bedside lamp wouldn't work.Light in WC wouldn't work.would expect a partial refund non offered
• Katherine (3/5): Shouldn’t be letting these rooms out as they are not fit for purpose - Nothing The room was freezing cold, the bed and pillows felt cold and damp, There was tea cups put out with tea coffee sugar & milk but NO KETTLE!! The towel rail was rusty & the shower had seen better days so we couldn’t use it. The hotel is set down a street full of foreigners whereas we thought at one point someone had been killed as there was a foreign couple arguing loudly then we heard a loud bang in which people came out of their house but we couldn’t see what was going on from our balcony. In the morning we got up early as we couldn’t wait to leave!!
• Rachael (7/5): Shirt ale - Great location, great sized room The motion sensor in the living room meant no one could sleep in the room so as there was 4 of us we had to move sofa cushions into the bedroom for the youngest child to sleep on. The room was a little chilly at times having an option to put the radiator on would have been nice.
• Maksym (10/5): Exceptional - Very close to the sea and the main high street. Comfy beds, lovely staff, great value... highly recommend. Liked all
• Tracy (4/5): Disappointing - Clean No breakfast No hot water No tea/ coffee/kettle for hot drinks Needs a net curtain up bedroom window Rooms cold heating not on till late as had to use a portable heater Smell of weed by the front door
• Tomas (8/5): Very good -
• Hayley (1/5): AVOID, Property not a B & B for holiday makers. - Nothing Property is being used to predominantly house non English speakers on long term lets which is not advertised. People roaming around inside and outside of the building 24 hours a day. Had to push through hoards of people to access room which was very intimidating. Left after first night as teenage daughter was petrified. Noisy day and night. An argument broke out when we were there. The place is unsafe on all levels. AVOID at all costs. Asked for refund but was refused as property think it’s ok to use as multi purpose and not inform holiday makers.
• Ward (1/5): Bad -
• Sherriden (10/5): Lovely stay will rebook. - Perfect location for us, everything was in walking distance. Clean comfortable room and excellent beds.
• Olufunke (10/5): Exceptional - Everything Nothing
• Thabani (8/5): Very good -
• Mervyn (3/5): Very underwhelming but fulfilled my needs - No breakfast either offered or taken. Location about the only good thing. Although managers were very friendly and helpful Residents were mainly eastern european although they were all friendly. Property in general is very dated
• Bev (3/5): Wouldn’t stay there again - Smelt terrible of damp and floor soaked where fire door was.
• Gordon (10/5): Exceptional -
• Giebel (8/5): Very good -
• Amy (8/5): For what I needed it was good - That it was close to the sea front Nothing
• Edward (7/5): Good -
• Natasha (9/5): Superb -
• Mandi (8/5): Very good -
• Jennifer (9/5): Superb - Very nice place nice landlord 10 stars for everything except no hot water in the sink. No hot water in the sink otherwise lovely.
• Vincent (8/5): Very good - All was OK apart not having breakfast. It does say bed and breakfast which I thought we had booked. The place was clean today and comfortable the host was very generous in letting us book in slightly earlier. Which was nice. Had we known that that don't do breakfast even though it was meant to bed and breakfast. We was told by the lady no breakfast we had to goto the cafe. But when we read the reviews others seemed to have breakfast their although it did specify it was bed only. Obviously they are also doing up the place and decorating or building work. The room and bed was comfortable had nice ensuite shower. And bed was quite comfy. Apart from no breakfast. The host was a nice guy. But If no breakfast is served at this bed and breakfast. Please it would be nice to update your page and alps on booking.com website. Everything else was OK. No breakfast. Had to pay another £20. 00 in a café tor breakfast up the road. If it is classed as a bed and breakfast but no breakfast it is a shock to know that before booking that way at least customers will know about this before booking. 0
• Barbara (10/5): Exceptional -
• Steven (9/5): Superb -
• Мария (10/5): Unusual positive stay and great comfort and kindness, which happens not often. - 1. The host offered an extra bed for us. As we were not an ordinary group, 3 adults and 3 children. This is to make us feel comfortable. 2. The host supplied us with water bottles, toilet rolls, coffee, tea, milk portions, and sugar, so we are not running out of drinks. This is also to compensate, as the breakfast is not served at the moment. 3. On the last day, we had to wait for our train till 5 pm, and asked the host to store our bags. He kindly offered the reception space, as he knows the struggle to look after kids and bags. Not everyone can do this nowadays. 4. Every room has a Bible book. I did not read it, but it gave me a sense of being in the right place and the right people were hosting us. 5. The place is next to the main attractions, pubs, main street, rhe pier, and not far from the train station. All great, no issues
• Mark (8/5): Very good - Great value for money. Friendly owner. Cold water out.
• Waddington (8/5): I would use the family room again. - There wasn't any breakfast. Better communication and info regarding breakfast
• Breydin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Antony (10/5): Exceptional -
• Margaret (10/5): Well presented, very clean , exellant value for money - Was local to our needs , was spotless well presented x Excellent value for money
• Jill (6/5): Pleasant - Good location. Close to beach, shops etc. Nice comfortable bed. Very basic. Needs updating. No kerb appeal.
• Minister (10/5): Exceptional - Location excellent. Staff lovely. Room was fine. Have stayed before& would again. Nothing negative
• John (6/5): Pleasant -
• Brett (9/5): Superb - How close it was to the sea front and value for money. Definitely stay again
• Damien (7/5): Tiny but lovely staff, clean and a brilliant location - Lovely staff, brilliant location just moments from the beach Absolutely tiny room but did the job for a few days of sun and sand
• Tracy (5/5): Basic and cheap, what else would you expect - The location was great It is what I expected for the cost. Very basic! Not the star rating that is advertised. One sachet of coffee, one teabag, one sachet of sugar. Thankfully there is plenty of places around to get a decent coffee. Not advisable to book breakfast. I can not judge on the food as I didn't have any, but the eating area didn't look that appealing!
• Lparker81 (3/5): Great location but a little run down - Location was fantastic Unfortunately the b&b was very dated and a little run down.there was a Language barrier with owner. Dirty entrance hall very uncomfortable beds air freshener everywhere clearly masking something no mention of breakfast in morning
• Claire (1/5): Don't stay here - Nothing Room wasn't clean. Mould and damp everywhere. Milk out of date. Socket hanging off wall, not safe. Broken chair on balcony. Toilet u bend black with damp. Smelt damp. No private bathroom when had paid for one. Had to use communal bathroom; due to having no hot water in our room. Shower in our room wasn't plumbed in even if we would have had a cold shower, we couldn't. Was moved rooms on arrival at the beach house. Taken to a different building on a different road due to apparently renovation work happening. The building we ended up in called the Collingwood was like a building site. No ceiling on corridor, covered over with a dust sheet. Walls full of damp, also attempted to have been covered over. Building/brick dust on carpet in hallway which we had to walk through constantly to access out room and the communal bathroom. Tried to complain, was told the boss was on holiday and out of the country. Got £20 refund the following morning, which we had to fight to get. Whole place is disgusting, not safe to even be open. Looking for a full refund if possible. An experince never to be repeated. The place should be condemned and shut down instantly for health and safety. When talking to another poor person who had the same experience as ours she also felt disgusted with the whole situation. Have loads of pictures of the place/conditions, but am only able to upload four on this review.

• Andrea (3/5): Booker for 2 nights didn’t want to stay 1 so we left - Close to beach Avoid It was smelly ,the sofa in bedroom I wouldn’t let a dog sleep on. there was no breakfast facilities as dining room and kitchen was like a building site even though it states there is breakfast available at property it is tired and dated although close to beach not a very nice road to stay in neighbours smoking cannabis as we pulled up

• Brian (6/5): Okay - Clean tidy No electricity
