Great stay for short break. ##### Barbara Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gareth Aug 16, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were very friendly. My room was small, but not a problem as I only stayed for 2 nights, so didn't have much luggage. The room & common areas were very clean and well maintained. The breakfast was top quality! Very short walk to the beach. ##### Gareth Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ella Aug 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities everything was as expected! ##### Ella Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Sep 28, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### EXCELLENT SHORT STAY Very comfortable bed & room. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had ground floor room and were very happy that we didn’t have stairs to climb. Breakfast was excellent, very well cooked and served hot. Only criticism I could make if I had to make one is, no bar and no possibility of snack or sandwich during the day or evening which would have made it 5\* in my view. Manuela on reception was brilliant. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely stay Perfect location for what I wanted to be able to do. Room was ‘cosy’ smallish but I was travelling alone so not an issue. Price was reasonable and took that into account so not a complaint just an observation. Parking not as difficult as I expected (midweek). Very warm welcome and I felt everything had been thought of in advance. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful place to stay by the sea We had a wonderful stay, a welcoming arrival and any queries we had were dealt with both before our stay and during our stay. There is limited parking at the hotel and involves a bit of tetris parking, however I cannot see how this could be resolved given the location and size of the hotel. The Chocolate Box was one of a few hotels that included some on site parking, there is a paid car park near by as well , you just need to be prepared in advance of the possibility of not getting parked on site . The bed was extremely comfortable and room was nicely furnished. I didn't notice any noise from outside or other guests either. It was an easy walk to the sea front and town centre. I'd definitely consider staying here again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4B7AB36AD02FC207D140F69BFB01491E715BC3981665753951679.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jun 12, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The photos on the web site are deceiving it might look good but in reality the decor is very poor. It needs a freshen up the whole place looks really tired. No staff on site only the maintenance man who was very helpful. Would not recommend. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Felix Aug 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities keine ##### Felix Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Anne Line Aug 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice!
