"We had a text a couple of days before and were able to ask a couple of questions. We were welcomed by Vernon on arrival and shown around the hotel. Vernon was keen to show the girls the dancing and they had a long session the next morning. Breakfast was cereal and we had coffee and tea. The guest house is very clean and tidy and welcoming. Very relaxed atmosphere. We were able to park in site for the afternoon while we explored the area. The girls can’t wait to come again and dance and...

"The advert on the hotels.com website did not match the facts of the stay. The advert states free parking it was not it cost me £30 for the stay. We spoke to the owner who stated that the advert was not placed by him. It was the fault of hotels.com as he does not use them you get your info from a 3rd party All I know is that I am £30 out of pocket. The stay was good as I can not blame hotels.com for all the rain."

The Esplanade Hotel by Compass Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very last minute booking the same day and the receptionist was so helpful. The room was clean and warm and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was very nice."

Easton Court

8/10 Good

"We had a biggish room with a huge bed. Very helpful armchairs and a settee. Bathroom was small but adequate with a roomy shower which was very easy to use. Breakfast menu was very varied and choices were very well cooked. The continental breakfast had a lovely choice with various cereals and fruit and yoghurts. The only problem for us was the parking. The property has 3 parking places so first come first served. As I am disabled the road is uphill and we had to park quite a way uphill which would have been very difficult for me but my husband would drop me off and then get the car when we went out. Other than that a very value for money B & B"
