Staff were very friendly and helpful. We booked a car parking space, £6 overnight which was extremely convenient in a private parking lot/garage opposite the hotel. You can also get a parking permit on the road outside for £4 if you're lucky enough to get a space. The room was standard, but big with plenty of space, beds were very comfy and cosy and towels were lovely and soft, it included bathroom and toilet, some rooms don't and are on a separate floor. They offer a continental style breakfast which we didn't try as we were looking to have hot food so we went out. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would visit again

We stayed here prior to Le shuttle, our room was recently decorated, clean and quiet and at a great price. The staff were helpful polite and cheerful. We paid an addition £4 for the on-street parking after 8am. We’d use Westward Ho again

Comfortable bed in small room with a great seaside view and a cold breakfast for a very decent price, comparatively. Downside was that the TV didn’t work, veggie options for breakfast were minimal and the building was a bit musty

Good location and size of room but in poor condition. The communal areas are poor too. Staff was good but breakfast was more of something very basic and no cooked items. Could have done the interior properly as they have few many properties and need looking after urgently.

Great little b and b with very friendly hosts. This is not a five star hotel, but had loads of lovely touches like tea and coffee, water, chocolates etc. Comfy and very clean, and they allowed us to keep our (clean) bikes in the room for the right before our ferry the next day. Breakfast was lovely, and did exactly what it said on the tin. Quiet area, albeit on a slightly less salubrious end of town - but we walked to and from town with two young children along the sea front for dinner and had no issues at all. Highly recommended.
