The White Lion Hotel

Very Good
Traveller Type: young couple
  : Location excellent
  : Needs lots TLC, sofas and chairs need a clean. Bathroom needs grab rails in bath and a non-slip mat. Cleaning needs to be more thorough….lots of fluff on pipes, top of doors and corners.

Wonderful
Traveller Type: solo traveller
  : Room very nice, had everything you could need. Lovely supper and breakfast. Staff very friendly and kind. A really nice place to stay for single traveller.
  : £194 B&B for one night was quite steep. Seagulls need to keep the noise down early in the morning, but that's inevitable when staying by the sea!!

Wonderful

  : On sea front free parking and they reserved us a space as my husband has a blue badge
  : Lots of steps in and out

Wonderful
Traveller Type: group
  : Location and the safe bicycle storage facilities as promised. Food was also lovely
  : nothing

Poor
Traveller Type: young couple
  : The location is very good.
  : The room could have been cleaner (cobwebs hanging from the ceiling ), very hot even with fan, only 2 tissues in unchecked tissue holder, smells like an elder care home in corridor (was it odour neutraliser?), grubby carpets particularly in corridor. Breakfast staff unsmiling, underwhelming food choices, no presentation. No sleep due to noise from next door house party - night watchman finally found at bar at 3am who said he couldn’t do anything about it. Live TV signal poor- would not connect to internet. Reception staff obliging but did not engage with our concerns. Tired decor in rooms. Is this hotel being run down deliberately with no investment ? No sign of a responsible manager.

  : Good dining experience. Proximity to sea. Free parking. Welcoming staff.

Wonderful
Traveller Type: solo traveller
  : Lovely location right on the beach and central to amenities a gentle wander away. Breakfast was delicious. Double Room was clean and perfect for me as a solo traveller... might have felt a bit small if there were two of us. Really friendly Night Porter who didn't think I was crazy getting up at 4.15am to go watch the sun rise!
  : Cannot be helped by the hotel but my goodness the Seagulls are incredibly noisy at very early-o-clock so cannot keep windows open and expect to sleep. The breakfast area is in two halves- a brighter area with big windows looking out to the sea and the other side- darker, less morning light. I wanted to sit in the lighter area but both mornings I was guided to sit where tables for smaller groups (for 1) were laid out. Both times I sat in the lighter area at a table set for 2... noting that most of the tables by the windows were set for 4 but had couples sat at them. I somehow felt I was being encouraged to sit in a less desirable place purely because I was solo. I was very happy where I sat and the breakfast was great.

  : Its location, comfortable bed. Breakfast very good.
  : Expensive considering room size and facilities. Bar staff not very welcoming.
