Victorian hotel, clean, friendly, convenient.
Just what you would expect from a Victorian hotel. No key card entry, air con, USB sockets. Not as fresh, bright, airy, or modern as you might like, but it is what it is, and has some character. Room 74 has incredibly squeaky floorboards and provides an adequate location for sleeping and washing. The place was clean enough and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I only ate here for breakfast, having the buffet selection and full English, and they were perfectly adequate. All in all, it was the perfect location to catch the hovercraft, do parkrun and have a mooch around for a day.

The room was lovely and clean, the staff very pleasant, the facilities in the room were great and the breakfast was delicious. On the downside, WiFi wasn't available in all rooms, especially at the top of the building, signage to the rooms wasn't clear, the mixer taps were difficult to get the temperature right when having a shower and there were no bedside lamps which meant that you had to have the bathroom light on.

Staff excellent and perfectly situated for access to Hovercraft service, "train" and buses. Breakfast good. Hotel fairly typical of the rather average standard we have come to expect in England however. Bedroom was at the end of a long winding corridor then up yet another flight of stairs. Too far from the main part to get any WiFi signal at all and hot water took ages to come through. Curtains very thin and no attempt to keep out the light. No bedside lights at all.
