Really clean place, extremely friendly and just lovely staff members. The food was out of this world, being a vegetarian it’s often difficult to find someone good to eat but this was a 10 out of 10 for me. I will definitely return and highly recommend.

We stayed at the Old Colonial for two nights. The accommodation was comfortable, very clean, and fantastic views from the bedroom window as well. We were in Room 3, which was a family room with sea views. It also makes a change to find somewhere that has baths as well as showers. So absolutely ideal for me as I have to have a bath due to spinal and hip problems. Having a soak in the bath you can't beat. The water was also very hot and plenty of it. We can't thank Lee, the manager, enough. He really looked after us and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We had a late check-in, and nothing was too much trouble. The staff in the pub were very friendly and helpful. We got served quickly, and the food came out to us super fast. We had the mac n cheese special as well as the sausage and mash special. Both portions were of a good size, so you definitely won't leave hungry. As for the breakfasts. They are very good quality and we left stuffed. We even took our breakfast sandwich with us as we had no room left and couldn't fit them into our stomach's. Thankfully, Lee and the chef were happy to wrap them for us so that we could eat them on our way home. There was also a good selection of real ale. So hubby was well chuffed. I don't drink. However, I was so pleased that they served full sugar Pepsi. So many places now only serve diet or drinks full of sweeteners. Unfortunately, I can't drink those drinks as I have an allergy to them. So, all in all, we had a wonderful stay and will definitely be coming back and hopefully be able to have the same room we were in this time. Also makes a change to be able to get free parking at a hotel at the seaside. Once again, thank you so much, Lee, for going above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful stay. Take care and see you again.

It’s hard to find a place for Sunday roast last minute- even harder if it’s party of 5. Non of use ever eat here before- reluctantly we decided to have a go. I am not going to lie but our expectations were low. And Old Colonial surprised us. Food was actually good, everyone enjoyed it. What a nice surprise. 👌🏻

I'd highly recommend The Old Colonial for anyone to either visit them for a meal or to stay in the rooms from booking with them. All the staff are very friendly, polite and helpful to any requirements you may need. The double room with sea view I had was very spacious as well as comfortable. The breakfast for those staying with them is excellent, with a choice of full English or vegan breakfast along with the option of continental breakfast, the main meals throughout the day are a good selection of choices for all the family and there's a very good selection of drinks whatever your tipple may be. It's also about a 5 minute walk away from attractions such as The Grand Pier and the town centre.
