Love this hotel. Have stayed here twice recently. Quaint but high standard of everything. Lovely clean, spacious, quirky room with little touches like very posh tea/coffee and homemade cookies. Historic bar/restaurant (didn't eat there). Super breakfast (if you like REALLY smokey bacon, as I do). Great (I'm running out of superlatives) kitchen garden, where you can sit out for a drink and 'potting shed' where they have live music and show films. Free parking at sister hotel, a short walk up the road. Friendly and attentive staff. Very convenient for town centre.

My sort of place.

This place looking up. Now doing breakfast, with very respectable bacon/sausage baps and full plates. Still doing nice cakes and, of course perfect spot with magnificent views of the town.

Great for brass band concerts in the summer; currently on a Monday. Deckchairs provided. Free but donations accepted. Eclectic mix of music.

Nice little 🐕-walky park with kids play area and 🏀 thingy.

Lovely hidden natural space on site of old foundry. Loads of bird life and nice boardwalk. Some interesting information panels. No youths there when we went and it's a shame if this is a problem.
