The Dickens Bar & Inn

“If we had a pub like this at home, we’d go there.”

We only visited the Bar, not accommodation, but having visited we will stay here in future if space is available. What a fantastic bar.

We only visited the Bar, not accommodation, but having visited we will stay here in future if space is available. What a fantastic bar. I don’t normally watch Football, but was absorbed by the action when I visited this week. The music and videos later were great too, and we really enjoyed our visit. The place was clean, bright, and inviting - as were the toilets. Big selection of drinks, fairly priced and refreshing. All of the staff that I spoke to were polite and good humoured. My wifes comment; If we had a pub like that at Jnr, we would definitely go there.

“Perfect to lay your head and enjoy breakfast”

A very friendly atmosphere in the pub below the rooms. Welcomed by host and staff. Room was small, but adequate for laying a head for the night. Room and bathroom very clean. Quite a bit of noise out of window, but room was at back of building where all the work was done. Excellent distance from m… lisää

A very friendly atmosphere in the pub below the rooms. Welcomed by host and staff. Room was small, but adequate for laying a head for the night. Room and bathroom very clean. Quite a bit of noise out of window, but room was at back of building where all the work was done. Excellent distance from main beach and attractions. Breakfast was beautiful and service from the young girl on Sunday morning, was excellent (compliments to both chef and waitress.) Slightly disappointed that wifi wasn't in room and no explanation in wlcome pack as to how to access it. Shower in bathroom had no power behind it and was more of a dribble. Late night activities in the pub were evident but didn't spoil sleep as was not too noisy. Overall, perfect for somewhere to lay your head!

“A little gem”

Just spent three nights at the Dickens and would thoroughly recommend it. Location is great. Very easy to find, the main shopping street is at the end of the road (turn right at Greggs).

Just spent three nights at the Dickens and would thoroughly recommend it. Location is great. Very easy to find, the main shopping street is at the end of the road (turn right at Greggs). Its opposite the cliff railway (well worth the fare as there are a LOT of stairs and its steep). We were a bit concerned about the noise, the rooms being over the pub. We didn't hear a thing - other than the seagulls - and thought we were the only ones there until we saw other people at breakfast. It was so quiet. Access is by a side door, which is locked at night and you are given a swipe card to gain entry. The room, on the 3rd floor, was adequately sized. There was tea/coffee making facilities, fluffy white towels, and a shower over the bath. It was spotlessly clean. The breakfast, which is served on the 1st floor is basic but very good. Full english, bacon or sausage butties, eggs on toast. No continental options given (who wants them any way !!). They don't do evening meals but there is plenty of choice around - Mediterraean next door, Brewers fayre one street back, and a chinese two streets back recommended. There is even a McDonalds in the same street and Greggs on the corner of the main shopping street. There is also a mini market in the road which had a FREE cash machine if needed. Dislikes - the lift. Very, very small (2 people), claustrophobic and slow. Had to use cis we were on 3rd floor. Would stay again and recommend but maybe more in peak summer as we found a lot of the seaside type places were closed for season. We went by train and recommend that form of transport

“Its a shame about lack of smiles and politeness”

This is a lively little pub, customers all laughing, groups spending time together, music bit old, but thats personal taste. Bar staff served after 11pm then were rude in hurrying people along to drink up, if you offer a late drink it was 11.30 pm they served us and others in bar, let people drink… lisää

Bar staff served after 11pm then were rude in hurrying people along to drink up, if you offer a late drink it was 11.30 pm they served us and others in bar, let people drink up without rushing, we werent rowdy, rude or swearing just having great catch up, shame the 2 female barstaff were rude and didnt smile
