I have stayed at Hotel Continental every year since 1997 (I think!). Gordon & Blossom, the proprietors, are great hosts and do everything in their power to make their guests at home.

My wife and I enjoyed our two night's stay at The Hotel Continental. We were in a double room (No 14). The room was clean, well appointed and the bed comfortable.

This is a haunt created out of depravity. Bathroom dirty and smells. Owners off hand and he, odious.

I travel the country on business and soon get fed up with the faceless, 'lodge' type accomodation usually frequented by business travellers. Every now and again, I take a punt and try local, small and privately owned hotels to see what crops up! I reckon the Continental is a gem when taking everything into consideration.

My room was very small but it was largely compensated by the fantastic sea view right in front of my bed! I opted to sleep without the curtains, a nice experience! The hotel was calm, and the street as well. The room was clean enough. I would recommend this hotel definitely.
