    Family fun with some hiccups

    We had a decent stay for 2 nights! Staff were super friendly, and we loved the breakfast options. The kids enjoyed the mini toiletries. we faced a bit of a struggle with the hot water on the first night, which wasn't great. the room was clean but those beds were really uncomfortable.

    spacious family room
    garden area
    exhausting stairs

    We stayed for one night in a spacious family room and the kids loved the nearby playpark and beach access. The room had a lovely view and we enjoyed the cozy garden area. Just a minor note, the stairs were a bit exhausting after a long day, but it didn’t ruin our fun overall. 🌊

    comfortable stay but minor cleanliness issues

    The staff provided excellent late check-in service after our long journey. Our family room was spacious with a lovely sea view, perfect for relaxing. It was also great to be in a quiet neighborhood right by the beachfront.

    The cleanliness of the bathroom could have been better.

    great breakfast
    noisy environment
    outdated decor

    we had a really nice stay at westward ho hotel. the family room was spacious n clean, which was a big plus. the breakfast was really tasty, especially the fresh fruit and yoghurt packs! the staff were super friendly and helped us with everything we needed. location was perfect for beach walks too.

    two complaints tho, the walls were kinda thin so it got noisy at night. also, the decor felt outdated n needs some refreshing.

    Spacious, stunning, stunning

    The family room with a sea view was spacious and had comfy beds that felt like a hug! I loved the large bath and the little touch of complimentary chocolate waiting on the bed. Plus, the friendly staff made our transition so easy – from parking to sightseeing, they had us sorted in no time.

    The view from the sea view room was stunning! Loved the comfy bed and the amenities like USB charging near the bed. The whole room felt fresh and clean, and I had a solid sleep despite the seagull chatter.

    outdated bathroom

    Situated on the cliffs, the location is truly wonderful, offering proximity to a beautiful cliff-park and serene beach. The staff were friendly, providing a packed breakfast, which was a lovely touch. the damp smell in the room was unpleasant, and patches of damp on the carpet were concerning.

    sea views
    charming decor
    easy accessibility
    inadequate seating
    limited lounge areas

    The beautiful sea views from my room were a delight, and the charming decor made me feel right at home. Accessibility was good, allowing easy movement through the cozy common areas, perfect for a senior like me.

    Better seating in common areas would be nice.

    clean bathroom

    i enjoyed my 8 nights at westward ho! the location was superb, just a stroll from the seafront and easily reachable by bus. the private garden was a lovely retreat, and the breakfast team always provided porridge with a smile. my comfort room was immaculate and very relaxing.

    Spacious family room with a stunning sea view, perfectly suited for families with a double and three single beds. The character of the old Victorian architecture adds a unique charm, making it a warm stopover before heading to France.

    The private bathroom for some rooms is a short trek down stairs, which can be tricky for those with mobility issues. Basic amenities in the bathroom needed updating, and certain rooms offered insufficient sound insulation, resulting in nighttime disturbances. Breakfast lacked hot options. mostly a cold selection which didn't cater much to hearty appetites, and the whole place felt a bit aged, needing a touch of care to elevate the experience.
