The Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay at the Beach hotel - we had 2 rooms, the Lee Bay(Deluxe) and North Hill (superior) for 3 nights. Both rooms were clean and comfortable, my parents were really impressed with North Hill given its size & amazing sea view, the separate bath tub in the room was classy. Location is excellent, we went across the road to enjoy the West Somerset railway for a day, and walked the other way down The Avenue where there are plenty of shops & restaurants easily reachable. A fresh-cooked full English was lovely to start the day(one of several options, there was also an onlette which my Dad enjoyed). There's a bar & cafe with plenty of seating inside & outside. All the staff were really friendly and keen to make sure we had a good stay, which we did. Would definitely visit again!"
