Burlington Berties

As soon as you walk through the door this wonderful hotel gives you a ‘warm hug’. The decor and furnishings are beautiful all the way through from the reception area, to the lounge, dining/breakfast room, stairway and room. We didn’t arrive until late on a Friday evening and Sally had very kindly already worked out that our journey time would have been about 2.5 hours and after such a long drive we would probably be too tired to go out and find somewhere to eat, so she arranged for the kitchen to stay open a bit later so we could eat in their restaurant. Sally even took our bag up to our room so we could head straight to the restaurant. The food and service was absolutely first class and I can see why non residents go there to eat. Whilst at our table Sally came over to us to say she had noticed how tall my partner was (6ft 6”), so she had upgraded us to a room with a larger bed free of charge. Our room had everything we could ask for, beautiful bedding, lovely toiletries and fluffy towels and bath robes. The lounge area is so inviting and comfortable and you can order your drinks from there, so no need to stand and order at a bar. We sat in the lounge with the owners (Sally and Joanna) and listened to their story about the refurbishment of the hotel. Their hard work and passion for the place has really paid off. Breakfast is included in the price and was delicious, with plenty to choose from. All the staff are so friendly and can’t do enough for you and the food the chef turns out is second to none. Would we go back? Yes, in a heart beat.

A really nice place to stay, lovely and clean, quiet, near to the sea, town, station,etc. Good parking. The evening meals are expensive.

What a fabulous boutique hotel! A very comfortable 2 night stay in a beautifully tastefully decorated environment. The Strand Suite was light and spacious with big sash windows letting in the sea air. Everything you would expect was catered for although a bit surprised that clean towels daily were not on offer without a charge. We understand why but at the moment it's 2 showers a day, so it would have been nice during this heatwave. Bedding superb although and nice decorative touches around the room with separate sitting area with armchairs in front of a huge TV! The pillows were on the firm side. Last breakfast sitting was 9.15 which is unusually early and came as a surprise. Very promptly served without issue, the most delicious food with more unusual offerings as well. We would have liked to have had multigrain brown toast rather than plain wholemeal. There is not a lounge/bar but the garden bar area is sunny and perfect to wind down in with a cocktail or two. Free parking which was nice having recently been charged to park in a hotel car park!
