We can do better Britain 🇬🇧

Hard to believe how underdeveloped this area of an English coastline is. People are very hospitable and kind, but the infrastructure is comparable to so called third world countries …

awful guesthouse not a hotel.below 1 star dirty

Wasnt aware that we were not booked to a hotel and that we had to walk to a guest house 5 mins down the road this information was never shared with us. Hotel bar is rowdy, there was a fight and the customers in the bar clearly on drugs. had my phone stolen by a women who also the room 3/44 tired and dated curtains hanging off rail, wardrobe old and falling apart door falling off bed side table. dirty cushions on bed, carpets floor had not been hovered, toilet seat broken. generally musty and not fir for purpose, was told breakfast included on check in but no option given for room only had to return to main pub by 9am, there was no way id eat in this place so we skipped the breakfast and went else where to eat. I wo9uld not recommend this place to any one and would never stay here again below 1 star

Very dated and poor decoration. The stay wasn’t on the beach front hotel as expected and booked but instead walked to a room in a guest house down a side road which is not what I booked.

Was diverted down a side street to another property away from hope hotel without prior notice.room was in a converted house into rooms. Definitely not a deluxe . Asked about evening meal in hotel told it was closed. Toilet flush not working. Stairs to upstairs room too narrow and caused a problem as OAPs. No breakfast the following day all in all Definitely not worth the money very disappointing would not stay again 😑

I booked the Hope Hotel for myself and my partner, with my friends booking a separate room. Together we paid a total of over £200. When we checked in, we were taken out of the hotel, and down the road to a ‘guesthouse’ which was effectively a student accommodation. The room was dirty, the lights were covered in dusk and cobwebs. The bathroom floor hadn’t been cleaned so it made my feet dirty, so I had to clean it myself. Following this, the shower didn’t work. The owner tried to tell us breakfast would ‘be over by 8:45’ when all signage said 9:30. My friends room was just as dirty, their shower did not drain so after one of them showered, no one else could. Their window was broken open so the room was freezing. My friends complained and received a refund pf £30, which didn’t even cover the charge for breakfast. We were given nothing. This was raised with hotels.com and the hotel said that the £30 was for BOTH rooms? And refused to do anything about it. The owner was rude and dismissive. The check in staff and bar staff however are lovely, though seem to be working with the best they have. Avoid, better off in a chain that deals with things when they do go wrong

I like the fact that the property is right the at the heart of the sea and all the exciting activities to do. The down side is the fact that the hotel do not have leaflet of taxis, tours or any other relevant information to facilitate customers moving around or eat out.
