The Royal Lion Hotel

The Royal Lion Hotel

8/10 Good
"The staff were very kind and it was the perfect location for the town and the beach. The breakfast was amazing and included with the room. Stay was overall very good but two minor points which were although there was a car park and space it is very difficult to get in and out of the car park as it was very small and cramped. I struggled to get into one of the spots but the staff were excellent and the lady on reception moved her own car to and it easier. The second minor note is that there was scaffolding and builders literally underneath the window"

8/10 Good
"Overall: Perfect location, comfortable bed, ample parking, excellent breakfast, efficient staff and overall, a good stay. However, our room was rather 'tired'. The mounted headboard had fallen off the wall and not been repaired (very noisy until wedge with pillows/cushions), old/used tissues behind bed and side units, many unidentified stains on the chair. However, breakfast room was clean and pleasant and the continental as well as cooked options were excellent. Would stay again but just not in that room/would check room first."

8/10 Good
"The cooked breakfast was very good but the coffee was weak. The owners were friendly and helpful. The room was motel style with guest access at the back of the property and lead out onto a road where you take a path between houses to get round to the front of the building and the car park. The owners did let us take a short cut through the pub upon check-in and check-out. The bed was comfortable and the water was hot but there was mould on the bathtub tiles and on the curtains in the bathroom along with spiders and webs. The heated towel rail worked on the first night but remained cold the second night. We were fine with it but I know some people have issues with mould. It met our needs."

The Manor Hotel by Greene King Inns

The Manor Hotel by Greene King Inns

10/10 Excellent
"The single room was fine and reasonable value (the doors do shut loudly). The staff were all very friendly, helpful and impressive (excepting one rather sour lady behind the bar!). They were very polite and kind, it makes a big difference to how you feel about a hotel. The food was really good and not expensive, excellent value. The drinks selection was extensive. There's plenty of outside seating. All in all, I definitely recommend the hotel and would happily stay there again."
