Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Aberford offers a convenient location, just a short walk from the sea front and attractions like the pier. Many guests found the rooms spacious, with family rooms containing a double and two single beds, and some appreciated the option to help themselves to cereal and hot drinks. While a few guests have noted that some aspects of the hotel appear run down, the full English breakfast seems to be a highlight for many visitors, with some even enjoying the option of a takeaway bacon sandwich for their journey home.

The shower was a nightmare. it alternated between scalding hot and freezing cold with no warning. also, the breakfast was pretty basic. The toast was always cold and hard. (i think they were trying to save money on the ingredients).
