On the 4th June 2008 we had an overnight visit by the Quality in
Tourism (VisitBritain) Hotel Inspector. They have since accredited us
with a 4-star Gold Award.
The Inspector's summary (in brief) read:
The
proprietors show extremely good levels of hospitality and obviously
work hard to maintain the standards of accommodation and cleanliness,
which is be be commended. We would like to take this opportunity to
wish them both good luck and every success for the future.
A period
property located in the heart of Kemp Town and close to the seafront
with easy access to local amenities, main roads and rail links, tourist
attractions and places of historical interest. The property has
recently undergone a comprehensive programme of refurbishment and
presents to a high standard throughout.
Bedrooms are comfortably
appointed with a wide range of accessories thoughtfully provided for
guest well-being. Decor, furniture and fittings are co-ordinated and of
a very good quality. Bathrooms are particularly well presented with
contemporary-style sanitary ware and a wide range of toiletries and
towels supplied.
Housekeeping shows obvious attention to detail,
rooms are very well dressed while standards of cleanliness present very
well in all areas, which is always encouraging to note.
