Plesant Stay!
A plesant stay in a good location next to the sea. Very clean and well looked after. Didn't bother us but the shower was in the room but a room divider offered some modesty!

The property is ideally situated on the seafront, a short distance from railway station. The room we had was beautifully decorated and equipped, with a good en- suit shower room. Excellent view of the sea.
The only slight negative, was there was quite a lot of noise from the road outside, however this wouldn't put me off staying again !

An excellent night's stay
We had an excellent stay at the Bank Hotel, our room was spotless with a fantastic sea view. The bed was huge and we had a great nights sleep, despite being on the main road there was no noise. The location of the hotel was also perfect, a few minutes walk downhill from the station and close to some great bars and restaurants. The staff were also very friendly and accommodating, I'll definitely be staying again.

This is a quaint old building that had all the amenities and a very accommodating staff, and it sits right across from the beach. The room was delightfully furnished with interesting decor - I would definitely come back here!
