The Brudenell enjoys a fantastic location right on the beach, offering lovely views, with some rooms even boasting sea views or overlooking the river and town, especially from higher floors. Breakfast is frequently praised for its good choices and options like Eggs Royale. While the hotel's exterior might need some paint according to some visitors, the rooms are often spacious and well-equipped with tea, coffee, biscuits and complimentary filtered water, in addition to super comfy beds.
