Hotel was in a great location with a welcoming and helpful team! Room was very comfortable and the house itself lovely had a very homely feel with all the various social/entertainment areas, feeling comfortable being able to spend time in them. Particularly liked the 3/4 snooker table that was fun! The decor and information around was fascinating and added to the history Breakfast was also very good!

The only improvement I would suggest is the shower in our room had very little pressure and kept changing temperature, there was also no shower gel just a bar of soap which wasn't new

what a wonderful guest house and lovely staff. great location, excellent breakfast!

Nice position on the sea front. South of the main town centre, so very peaceful. The Guest House has a military theme, which gave it a lot of character. The breakfasts were plentiful and the staff friendly and accommodating. I liked the "themed" lounges. There is plenty - and I mean plenty - of lounge space in the property if you want to get out of your room, particularly if you want to mix with other guests. The property also boasts a pool table in it's own room. Very nice. There is also an "honesty bar" which always shows a host who trusts and cares for his guests. I didn't use it, but it was nice to know it was there. One night I was craving a packet of crisps. Alas, none available at the bar. I think the availability of bar snacks would be a great idea and may actually stimulate a few more drinks being purchased. Just my thoughts. The photos are from my room (No.9). Who could want for a better view!! That morning sunrise was to die for 👍.

The lighting in the room was very poor. There were two bedside lamps. The bulb in one didn't work, the bulb in the other was nearly gone and kept flickering. They provided no light. The main room light was of such low wattage that it made the room look very dingy at night, which was a shame as the room was very nice. I solved both these issues by buying new energy saving bulbs for the lamp nearest to my bed and the overhead room light. Proper lighting transformed the room at night from dingy to cosy. The replacement bulbs cost £2.73. It was my gift to the property. The beds were far too soft for me. Sadly, I think it was a case of buying cheaper quality beds that were poorly sprung. For a few days these mattresses would be fine, but a longer stay and you'd have backache. The breakfasts were nicely cooked, but I wasn't a fan of tinned tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes. I think it would be a welcome alteration.

A friendly and efficient service. Great breakfast ordered in advance to save waste...good idea. Fantastic value for money.

The en suite door didn't shut properly. Not an issue for us as family...but could do with attention for others sharing a room.

comfortable and friendly

Hotel works as a charity for ex servicemen and has a fascinating military themed decor. The owner/manager was very welcoming and happy to explain the hotel's work. Breakfast was good and the hotel operates a small trust bar with excellent prices, which is rare to see these days. We would be very happy to stay there again.

They forgot the hashbrown on my daughters breakfast, so she pinched mine! Everything else was excellent.

Stunning sea view, free pool table, excellent friendly hosts (bonus points for the dog) and a delicious breakfast

Twin beds, despite requesting a double. May have assumed we were friends though, as we are 2 guys. Didn’t impact how welcome we weee made to feel, so didn’t warrant mentioning. All staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and friendly; despite being busy with a Burns night supper

So interesting as it was a hotel that hosted veterans of all services and anyone else of course. The hotel was a wonderful tribute to all who served our country. The staff were wonderful and went the extra mile to make the trip extra special.
