Hotels by the sea

Burgh Island if you are feeling flush. Can’t get nearer the sea than that!

Blakeney Hotel in North Norfolk is right on the quayside and has lovely views of the Quay and marshes and the distant sea beyond. There is a huge viewing lounge where you can have tea or coffee or afternoon tea.

We also love the Brudenell at Aldeburgh. I can still remember the wonderful feeling of relaxing when we got to our room on a Friday evening and could see the sea. I’ve never managed to persuade my husband to take me to the Midland. I look forward to seeing other recommendations. Have a look at the hotels at Lyme Regis and Muddeford.

The Hotel Riviera in , literally across the road from the beach. Excellent food and service, you might want to turn the heating down though, it’s always a bit warm in there.

Oh dear it’s in Sidmouth, not sure where the town disappeared to.

The Atlantic Hotel in Tenby overlooks the sea. A private footpath leads through the garden, down to the beach.

The Midland was one of our very favourites but the contract to run it was given to a company that has changed it to much more 'pub' like.

It had a brilliant vibe and was handy for visiting the lakes and my lovely Preston based Aunt and family.

Oooh, I had forgotten, we stayed there years and years ago. Thank you.

Just looked at it - it doesn't do dinner!

kittylester I am going to Berwick upon Tweed in May staying at the primer inn which is at the harbour. Never been before but imagine I may be able to see the sea from my room just depends where it is as having an accessible room. But I think it's a short walk to the harbour wall.

We used to like The Midland too Kitty but was disappointed on our last visit last year.
I’m interested in any other recommendations we love a hotel overlooking the sea.

Hotel Tresanton, St. Mawes, if it's for a treat. It's an Alex Polizzi place, so good food is guaranteed.

The Premier Inn in Exmouth is on the Sea Front, it’s quite new too.

Yes perfect location. And Rockfish for dinner.

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.

Ooh, Kate, we've been there too - it's fabulous!

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

All have beautiful settings and have restaurants.

Seaham Hall Hotel and Spa up here on the North East coast.
Bracing weather and you’ll need a second mortgage!! I’ve done spa days there - lovely.

Which one kitty?

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.

There's a Premier Inn on the seafront in Torquay.

And Skeggy, I think.

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.

Get you were in your element, Kate.
