We love hotels over looking the sea when we have a short break.
We love the Brudenell at Aldeburgh and used to enjoy The Midland at Morecambe before it was taken over. When the children were small, we stayed at the Woolacombe Bay Hotel.
Like Primrose, I would recommend the Blakeney Hotel in North Norfolk. It’s not cheap but they certainly know how to look after you and the food is superb.
Take a look at the Hydro Hotel in Eastbourne. Many of the rooms overlook the sea and there’s also a conservatory restaurant with views as well as a pretty sea facing garden for warm days. It’s a comfortable hotel with helpful staff and good food. It’s not super luxurious or modern but has every comfort and a friendly atmosphere.
Oh yes it's lovely isn't it kitty? We didn't realise until we got there that The Beatles stayed there for three nights as part of filming their Magical Mystery Tour. I found some lovely pictures when I googled it.
The Atlantic at Newquay. We had booked a self catering bungalow which was in a disgusting state when we got there so had to hunt around for somewhere else. The Atlaantic was the only place we could get in. We stayed 3 nights and moved to the Carbis Bay for the rest of the holiday.
Buddock Vean -Helford Passage, Cornwall The Bedruthen Steps, I think it's been renamed as The Bedruthen Spa since I was last there- Mawgan Porth Cornwall The Harbour Hotel - Salcombe, Devon
The Atlantic in Newquay Cornwall is pretty spectacular. Also, although it's many years since we stayed there, The Fowey Hall Hotel in Fowey (foy) in Cornwall. It's Daphne Du Maurier country.
