Royal Beacon Hotel

No parking. Good location but hotel is dated and in need of refurbishment. Overpriced for what we got.

Friendly service and we really appreciated the upgrade to the sea view! Great location and convenient for the beach. Some of the decor was a bit dated, but all was spotlessly clean and we felt very welcome.

Good value for money Hotel. Bit tired in places but comfortable. Parking limited on site but found it easy to park on street near the hotel. Breakfast was good.

Staff friendly and helpful. Room had lovely sea views. Bed was comfy. Hotel was clean. Cooked breakfast was fresh and tasty. Would have liked an option of porridge or bananas. Restaurant was bright and clean. Parking was good as nowhere on yhe road available and my husband has mobility issues. A shower rather than one over the bath would have been easier. Instructions for operating the shower would have been useful as the water was very hot and we wasted a lot getting it to the correct temperature.

The traditional English breakfast was well worth the wait for being cooked to order, probably the best cooked breakfast I've had in years! And a nice selection of buffet items as well. In October the parking wasn't an issue, but I can imagine its more problematic at busy times of year. The building is nearly 200 years old so I can forgive the creaky floorboards, but the bed we had was also very creaky which was a little annoying. Overall it was excellent value for money and I would stay again.

Parking non- existent requiring us to park a 15 minute walk away. We managed . Staff are brilliant. Very helpful and charming . We had an excellent seaview from our room number 211 which was a highlight and great to wake up to . Overall the stay was fine for just overnight but hotel is looking very tired and in need of some loving care. Breakfast was very good and served with a smile .

Nice upgrade, there is free parking along the front of the hotel if you are lucky.

Overall the hotel was OK, but a bit dated. Our room was large but cold, beds were comfy. We had a twin room and this was situated at the rear over looking the car park. Furniture was dated but sufficient. The room had the usual complimentary tea and coffee. The worst thing was the bathroom. Cracked ceiling, a rather large dead spider on the floor, radiator caked in dust, the bath panel was cracked and warped with water, the door hinges were rusty. It just needed a complete makeover and clean. We were lucky to park on the street, although there is parking to the rear of the hotel, it was already reserved. Sadly there was no meals being served, but there's plenty of places to eat nearby. I wouldn't advise going out in the car as you may not be able to park when you get back. Hotel is at the top of a hill, and in good position and walking distance for all the local amenities.

Public areas were good and clean, room was good too. Staff were friendly and helpful but maybe had too much to do

The hotel felt very run down. Stair carpets threadbare in places. It looked quite neglected from the outside. A convenient location but parking very restricted.

Comfy bed

The room - 205 - was very good. I had given up thinking that such places were available in the UK. A great place to stay.

Nice hotel with views of the estuary. Fairly quiet given its central location. With-in walking distance of the train station. I had a comfortable and clean room. Pleasant and helpful staff. Wifi was available in the lounge but not my room. There's a decent breakfast for those who want it. Happy to stay there again.

Beach View, friendly, helpful staff. Traditional charm

The bedroom and how tidy it was and the cooked breakfast and the most of all the staff there that work they were kind and considerate and went beyond there means to support me when staying will definitely would come back again to stay there

Room was a good size, clean and presentable albiet furniture a little dated. Bathroom was very clean, goid size and good lighting. Interaction with staff was easy and very friendly.

We stayed here for a night on a room only basis. Check in was simple, parking wasn’t an issue but I did have to park in the long stay down near the sea front. Our room was a basic double on the 3rd floor. Turns out we had a sea view which was nice. The room was ok, bathroom very dated but functional. We would stay again.

Our stay started off with a bit of a hiccup, with our room not being ready but the staff were very accommodating and we ended up getting an upgrade with a sea view, this made our stay even better. Everyone was friendly and we enjoyed our stay very much.

Breakfast was good. Room a bit tired, no plug in bath, stain on chair and carpet. Staff were very good.

Staff very friendly and helpful. One member of staff working when I arrived, working reception and the bar! Bar not overly well stocked. Unable to park anywhere near the hotel had a ten min walk from where I parked. Room on the nicer end of basic, but good value for the price. Hotel in general is nice , great location, needs a lick of paint and some new carpets in places. I would stay again 👍
