The Esplanade Hotel by Compass Hospitality

A nice break Overall enjoyable. Pleasant room with lovely view of harbour and very good breakfast. Unfortunately dinner menu was very unappealing so ate out.

Great location, hotel is on the beach front, great beach front for walks and two-minute walk from pretty harbor. Close to train station and bus routes. Parking is a pleasure great big parking lot in front of hotel. Rooms are clean and presentable, and bed was comfy, and I had a great night’s sleep. View from my room was stunning, watching windsurfing and watersports makes for a great relaxing evening. The staff and management team are so friendly that they make you feel like you are at home, very relaxing. Very happy to go the extra mile. Lovely meeting room for meetings and weddings.”

I came for the air show but to have chosen such a lovely hotel to stay in with such lovely staff and my I add delicious breakfast, that set me up for the day.

It is very dated and needs sprucing up,the hot water took14 mins to come through hot enough to shave,and the shower took ages to come through and then it was only Luke warm and no power in the water it wasn' t powerful enough

Unfortunately my double bed was 2 singles put together which was uncomfortable for my partner and me. We were disappointed that there was a window over looking the bed that had no curtain or blind so the sun came in at 5 to wake us up. Another problem was why wouldn’t you give guests a hand towel? After washing your hands the only item available was toilet roll.

Was ok for the price, room was dusty, hallways smelled of smoke, but staff were pleasant enough, only stayed 2 nights, was decent enough to get your head down for the night
