From the moment we arrived, to the moment we left, Simon and Vanessa were welcoming, friendly and attentive. Considering they only took over a month ago, and have no previous experience, it’s one of the best stays I’ve had in a UK B&B.
Location-wise, it was perfect. Right on the Esplanade, steps away from the beach and a few minutes’ walk from the shops, harbour, restaurant and bars. It’s also very close to the SEA LIFE Centre – a lovely, short walk down the coastal path.
The rooms were basic and could use some updating (give them a chance, they’ve only just taken over) but were very quiet, clean and comfortable – I slept really well, which is rare for me when staying away – and the sea view in our twin room was AMAZING. The large sash window gave it almost a ‘balcony’ vibe.
Breakfast was delicious, and there was plenty of choice. The sea view from the dining room was a bonus and the atmosphere was always friendly amongst the other guests (as we’d all slept beautifully the night before, no doubt!).
I highly recommend the Premier Hotel and will definitely stay there again.
