“The carvery seems to be a focal point, and while mostly well-received, I'd suggest vigilance regarding the parsnips. Sea views from some rooms certainly enhance the stay, though parking can be a consideration. Overall, I get the impression it's a friendly spot with a classic British seaside vibe.”
