The stairs to 2nd floor rooms are a bit confusing but other than that all was good Excellent breakfast served a very nice and capable young lady called Amy. Jack who booked us in was also very professional

Good size room in unique location. facilities a bit tired but everything works
Gareth, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

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.
Pam, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.

Pleasant staff , very relaxing
Alan, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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
tony, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Nice hotel, small room

Nice hotel, very clean, with good service. Room was a bit on the small side considering the price.
Stewart, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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

Lovely hotel inside but looks rather shabby from the outside. Good breakfast and very helpful Staff
Claire, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Graham, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The room was comfortable and the breakfast excellent
Thomas, 1-night trip

Anna, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Bill, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Excellent stay at the White Lion Hotel. Good facilities. Local area excellent overlooking the sea. Service was friendly and helpful.
Despina, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Very impressed

We had a lovely stay, the staff were excellent, the food in the restaurant was exceptional(both dinner and breakfast), the hotel was very clean. The room was good and comfy.
Stuart, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Gary, 2-night trip

Lindsay, 2-night trip

Brian, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
