Excellent location
Restaurant was closed throughout, so manager gave us free breakfast every day - excellent customer service. Hotel well located for bus stops and train station. Friendly staff. Only criticism is allowing smokers to cluster outside the front door - gives a very bad impression, and floor is strewn with cigarette butts.

It's like staying in your own stately home
A Really Relaxing stay in a perfect location with everything accessible within 10 minutes walking time.
Friendly and professional staff with excellent customer service and perfect training.
Ideal for a short break or a longer stay in a nice, quiet location but within 5 to 10 minutes walking distance of sea front, high street, cinema, train station and bus routes. For the more able walkers and sightseers there are excellent coastal paths and country walk.
It's like staying in your own stately home but with the added comfort of peace of mind.

Same Orwell, needs TLC
Some of the hotel is good, but a lot hotel is run down and needs some TLC. Rooms are OK, cleaning should be better, especially the bath and surrounding areas. 2 tissues were placed in a holder, no cardboard box so I assume they were put in there by hand.
