We stayed the weekend at The Aldor, wish we would have stayed another night!! Darren and Caroline were both excellent, very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was lovely, really liked how we had our own allocated table. I would highly recommend The Aldor as they both made us feel very comfortable and were extremely helpful during our stay. The room was spacious and clean, the beds were so comfortable and the shower was lovely and hot. The location was perfect too as it was just a short walk from the train station and beach front. Thank you for a great stay, will definitely be back x

We came for a couple of days away and this was the perfect place. We were greeted by Darren to check us in who was lovley. This guest house has a lovley home feeling and you can see the time they put in to ensure it is clean and welcoming. We would definitely visit again. We have stayed in a few guest houses and this was one of the best .

Excellent B&B, took my 2yr old granddaughter to the seaside for a couple of days. Located near to the railway station, town centre and beach, it was ideal for us being on foot. The room was spotless (even the kettle), it was warm and had plenty of tea/coffee and toiletries. Breakfast was lovely, hot and freshly cooked. Will definitely be returning
