The staff was very plesent and friendly we stayed B&B and the food was very nice Drink in the evening bar was excellent prices. If one criticism was to be made it would have to be the breakfast table layout for a 5 star I would have preferred a table cloth with layout of cups plates and cutlery. But that to me is no bother Zwe still had a wonderful stay and will do it again

Nice bright room that was well serviced. We booked a slightly more expensive room to get a sea view and whirlpool bath. Well worth the extra cost when you've been done lots of walking. No need for a TV (although there was one with Freeview) when you can lie in bed watching the waves rolling in and the sunrise/sunset from the picture window. Very filling breakfast, nothing too much trouble even cooked a sausage for our dog each morning. Staff very welcoming & friendly Would definitely stay again.

A great place to explore the area. The superior room had a view of the sea. Dog friendly too which meant we could take a stroll on the beach at sunrise.

A lovely hotel right on the seafront. The staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. I had a lovely room with a see view. It was spotlessly clean and had a hot drinks station, hairdryer and tv. The en-suite had a good size shower and shower gel and shampoo was included. The breakfasts have been fabulous. I'm vegetarian and was very well catered for. All in all it was an enjoyable and very reasonably priced stay. I would highly recommend the Claxton hotel and will definitely book again when I'm this way again.

A very nice place indeed, clean, large rooms, comfortable and nothing is a bother. Staff have all been very friendly and are always willing to help with a smile. Breakfast was lovely but they also provide evening meals in the lounge or in your room, there is also a full bar which is quite well stocked. Will stay here again without a doubt
