Wessex Inn by the Sea

A bit difficult to find. The room is a bit old

This is an older building, and when we visited some of the rooms were being updated. I suspect that the previous owners had not been able to maintain it but the current people are working so hard to smarten it up. Our group had two rooms and each had kitchenettes with full size cookers, through-the-window aircon, and were clean and tidy. There is a great view to the front from some rooms and just walk across the road for more stunning scenery. I would happily stay again and wish the new team every success.

This was a unplanned trip so I pick this motel because I wanted to be in the country and away from turistic sights! The staff was pleasant and extremely friendly took time and told us about the hotel facilities and accepted our needs! So far so good ! We had a nonsmoking room yet the room had unpleasant oddor we took care of it immediately!

It has almost been one year from our stay here and I would never stay here again and deal with the manager "Sunny" who overcharged us and never returned our deposit. Don't stay here if you have a pet or young kids. It is small and so many noises all the time.

Amazing area but ruined when checkout and Sunny blamed a damaged door on us which we emailed him about. Then charged over 100 dollars for towels that were “too dirty”, didn’t clean our room for the entire month and no security deposit was returned to us. We were treated nicely by all other staff except Sunny and shocked us with scribbled down charges after one month there. Don’t stay here with kids as it’s tiny and such a horrible experience.

Beautiful views and comfortable bed. Private patio or balcony with each room. An item of ours went missing in the room only to turn up later in our trip, buried in our luggage. The management was gracious, responsive and helpful. The front desk is closed quite a bit but there is a posted number to call and someone comes quickly.

They had price listed as $150/night until we arrived to check in, then it went up to $300/nt. when we arrived in person. Its not even that nice a place! They were pressuring us to take it because it was a busy weekend, and we had to decide within 10 minutes (it was only 1 pm). Thankfully we made a quick call and found a room at the Super 8 for $170/nt. Walk away from this place and don't look back.
