I was a bit worried about some of the reviews I had read before going on this Shearings coach break about this hotel ,but I was pleasantly surprised. Yes the hotel has a few issues here and there but that adds to its charm ,the staff are all nice ,its clean and warm ,and the entertainment is the evening is great fun ,and the food is good ,what more do you want for the small price you pay .And best of all its right on the sea front .
The only down side for me was our Shearings coach driver did,nt know anything at all about the places we visited on our excursions ,she was one of the poorest drivers we have had .but never mind it was still a nice break.

We have just spent a three night break at The Burlington on a Shearings coach tour.We have visited many Bay hotels but i think that the Burlington is probably the best.It is very well situated on the seafront about a ten minute walk from the town centre which is a very good shopping area (Arndale centre, T J Hughes wetherspoons etc )
The hotel itself is a typical Victorian building, A lot of refurbishment seems to have taken place, other areas i,e the corridors do need attention.Our room on the third floor was of a good size with plenty of storage it was at the back of the hotel, very Quite and heated to a very pleasant temperature.The bedroom and bathroom appeared to have been recently decorated, my only small complaint would be the lack of a decent shelf in the bathroom.
Food in the restaurant was good with a reasonable choice and exceptionally good service, the buffet breakfast was top class, well cooked warm and of good quality.
Unlike the last couple of Bay Hotels we have stayed in The Burlington has a resident host / compare (Mark) who works very hard to make the evenings enjoyable
with the usual Bingo,Quiz and Cabaret act, he certainly succeeds in creating a good atmosphere,Bar prices were as you would expect in a South Coast hotel - beer £3.75, bottle of wine £15,
Overall for its value for money, good service,food and Exceptionally pleasant staff the Burlington is a hotel i would not hesitate to recommend'

We stayed here after another hotel cancelled our booking last minute.
We booked through late rooms and was a little worried when we got there and they have no booking on their system. Thankfully the very helpful reception staff sorted this out.
The corridors looked a little tired but the room was lovely, really spacious and with a lovely view. All clean and had everything we needed.
A problem we had was that the room was super warm. We turned the heating off and opened the windows but still felt like we were cooking. This could of course, just be our preference and we could have been surrounded by others in their rooms who had heating on.
Also, the bed was too hard for us...but again, there was nothing wrong with it...just what we prefer.
Thank you for a pleasant stay.

My husband and myself booked this S hearings break as my husband is recovering from stomach cancer I read a few different review sites and was becoming concerned I had made a mistake. But what a surprise the hotel facilities and staff so far are excellent. When I checked in I was given a upgrade and the room is perfect room 109 spacious clean and has a feature so special to us as previous to my husband getting the cancer we loved the sea and this room has a full size window that opens facing the sea so we are able to hear the waves perfect. The first nights meal was excellent and suitable for my husbands condition. We spent the evening in the entertainment area and was so relaxed we enjoyed the entertainment from Mark and laughed all night. The buffet style breakfast I have just eaten was also lovely. I am here until Friday and expect these standards to continue . The moral of this early review is do not be concerned about other reviews you read as what I have found with Shearings is if something is not to your standard speak to them as they try there best to make everything brilliant. Good value for money and will return.

Stayed at the Burlington on a weekend on a Shearings coach tour. Lovely hotel on the seafront. Close to town centre and bars. Hotel was warm and comfortable. Staff very friendly nothing was too much trouble. Food was nice and always hot. Breakfast was buffet style and excellent choice of cereal, porridge, bacon, sausage, hash browns, beans, tomatoes,eggs, which you can have poached fried boiled scrambled. Toast, jam tea and coffee. Entertainment, hosted by Marky, was very good. Rooms were very nice. No complaints from us. Will definitely visit again.

Just recently returned after a 3 night weekend stay at Bay Burlington and were very happy right from the start which was the good welcome at reception and then to our sea view room which was very clean and plenty of room and seating, well worth paying the extra for a sea view. The receptionist even met us at the car park to unlock the barrier, car park was also extra but saves looking around side streets. The food was excellent, well presented meals and again excellent service. The rooms were well maintained every day. The entertainment was superb, many thanks to Marky for that, he is a super star and a lovely person. I would have given 5 stars but the shower was terrible, only a trickle due to no pressure, water into the bath took forever. This was on the 4th floor (417). All in all, super hotel, staff and all aspects of the hotel.

We enjoyed a lovely Shearings Midweek break at this hotel in February 2017 and from the bus trip down to the bus trip back it was brilliant. The hotel Manager, Christine, welcomed everyone on arrival and the receptionists booked all the guests it quickly and professionally. The room we were issued was very comfortable, clean and modern. The view from our bedroom window of the promenade and pier, and of course the rolling waves that lapped the shore, were spectacular. The hotel dining room is large and beautiful as is the bar area and lounge? Some areas of the hotel were still in need of renovation but all in all we were very happy with the hotel and the accommodation. The breakfast was very good and as it was self service you could choose your own mix; the evening meal was served by your waiter/waitress and was well cooked and well presented. All the staff throughout the hotel were attentive and very polite and nothing was too much trouble, the receptionists in particular. The entertainment manager was a good laugh and the guests joined in with the bingo and the quizzes which made you use your brain a bit. The acts were also good and worth listening to. All in all we would like to thank Christine and her team at the Burlington,and to Peter our Shearings driver, for making our midweek break very enjoyable. Well done.

A pleasant late winter break with shearing hotel is quite clean standards in rooms vary our room looked to have been recently modernised next door had not food was excellent with plenty of choice staff excellent friendly couldn't do enough for you we had a young lady called Beatrix super my only concern was security while we stayed here a room on the 4 floor was broken into and staff told us this was not the first incident the reception is set to the left of the main entrance and the access to the stairs and. Lifts to the right couple this with a bar and cafe open to the public means little or no control over who has access to the bedrooms and the locks on the doors are nor substantial our room 300 looked like if you put your shoulder hard against it it would go an there appears to be marks where someone had tried to jemmy the door a worry that while on holiday you don't need
