I like how the hotel makes you feel like you have gone back in time, to the 1800s

The single room was spacious, comfortable, very warm and with the promised sea view. Breakfast was available but I don't eat in the mornings. There was no shortage of hot water and no draughts - which you might expect in such a large, old hotel....
