Sea Stone Hotel

Sea Stone Hotel

8/10 Good
"The breakfast was very nice, the croissants were delicious. My bathtub wouldn't convert to a shower, the mechanism had seized up, and the deep tub was difficult to climb out of, partly due to my having one injured arm, and also due to there being no rubber tub mat and the tub floor being very slippery. I told reception about both issues at checkout. The view of the sea from my daughter's room was spectacular and my room, on the ground floor, had no view but was nice and quiet. Luckily we stayed before the area was engulfed in a heat wave so the rooms weren't overly hot, the breeze was able to keep them cool enough for sleeping. We loved being so close to the beach, pier and restaurants, an easy walk to all, and the long gardens walk up from the pier was lovely."
