Fairhaven Hotel
Perfect location, lovely friendly staff. The hotel is quite tired and needs some love and care put into it, but it was clean and comfortable. View of the beach from our room was beautiful. Parking is in a nearby car park for £6 a day with a voucher from the hotel.

A friendly and supportive receptionist greeted me. The room was bright, fresh and clean. A good night's sleep was had in a comfortable bed followed by a powerful hot shower in the morning.
