Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the spacious rooms, some boasting lovely views of the cricket pitch or even the seafront. The location proves ideal for exploring, with the town centre easily accessible by a short walk along the coast; venturing further is made easy with the Cleveland Way and local bus routes. The complimentary breakfast is widely appreciated, though a few guests found the alcoholic drink selection limited, or experienced issues with the coffee machine .

spacious roomsea view
the room was spacious with plenty of plug sockets in the right places, i noticed. i also appreciated the host providing greek yoghurt for breakfast as a special request instead of full english. it reminded me of a lovely touch. there is a very comfortable lounge with sea views where you can get drinks. snacks are also available, i saw.
the coffee machine was out of order after a cold walk. that was slightly disappointing.

i asked for a room with a sea view, but i get a room next to reception with a view of another building. the shower was tiny, and the room had a lot of dust. plus, i had to ask for parking permits every single day, which was like a real hassle.
