Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests frequently appreciate the Best Western York House Hotel's location directly across from the beach, with some rooms offering sea views where you can hear the waves. The rooms are generally found to be lovely and spacious, sometimes featuring super king beds and amenities such as tea and coffee making facilities. The swimming pool is considered a bonus, though some have noted that it's a bit small; and while the breakfast is typically British, it's often described as very good with plenty of choices.

The hotel is ideally located near the pier and shopping area. i enjoyed sitting on the veranda. It was lovely to have coffee there (the sea breeze!). there was live music on the pier with food available. i booked a sea view room and the sound of the sea on the pebbles ensured a relaxed sleep.
the light in the bathroom was not working properly.
