Nicer on the inside than the outside. Just across the street from the beach. The room, and bathroom are on the small side, but clean and fresh. Good breakfast included and free parking.

Great location and the sea view room we had was lovely with high ceiling and huge windows. The room-darkening curtains kept us cool in spite of the heatwave and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and even our dog was made to feel welcome in the dining room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back soon.

Great beds and welcoming staff. Hotel needs to be updated especially exterior

We had a nice stay , the hotel is in a great location but is very tired on the outside, it is an old property and seaside hotels can be a bit weather beaten, we did ask to be moved to a seaside view but moved back to our original room as the new room with a view had a lot of damp in it and not as nicely decorated so not worth the extra £60 a night they wanted to charge us!! Also bear in mind that the seagulls are very noisy especially at 5 30am when the fishing boats come in to the beach outside the hotel

Excellent value and great location. Do not opt out of the breakfast. It is fantastic and you’ll pay more and get less trying to find something as good outside

Second stay at this hotel. Staff were all very nice. Public areas of the hotel were really nice but thought the room looked a little tired. Nice bar and the Brasserie looked nice although we didn’t have dinner there. The breakfast though was good. Right on the sea front, pubs nearby, short walk to the high street with some nice shops, cafes and eateries.

I'd have liked a grab rail on the wall of the shower/bath since as an old person fear of falling is a constant worry.

Excellent stay at the White Lion Hotel. Good facilities. Local area excellent overlooking the sea. Service was friendly and helpful.

Nice room, very clean but on the smaller end on size of room. Early morning noise of beer barrels being delivered or returned was a nuisance. Didn’t eat evening meals here as vegetarian options on the menu we saw were minimal. Overall, I would recommend but select a sea view rather than the town view.

Hotel was just what we needed for a mini break between Christmas and New Year. Lovely quiet hotel, clean, friendly and welcoming staff. Food in The Brasserie restaurant was excellent including the breakfast. It was lovely to order breakfast at the table rather than buffet style. We will definitely revisit.
