Bramerton Court

The staff were easily the best part, always friendly and ready to help. The location worked well too, with the town centre about a 10-minute walk away and the station, golf course and beach around 5 minutes away, handy for walking the dog early. The room was small and basic but adequate, and check-in was quick. The decor and windows seemed due for replacement, and the small bathroom needed a facelift or at least a thorough clean. I also found the bed very uncomfortable and spent each night tossing and turning. We paid £200 a night for four nights in a standard double with dinner and breakfast, and brought our dog. Dinner was the main disappointment: choices were limited, much of the menu wasn't available, and the food seemed bland and lacking in flavour. We suspected it had been frozen and reheated. By the third night, although dinner was included, we chose to eat out for the final two nights. Breakfast tasted good, though we had to choose the night before, perhaps so it could be defrosted. We left disappointed and would stay somewhere else if we returned to the area.
