The car park at the site has space for up to 16 vehicles.

Mark Phillips, senior associate at Fleurets, said: "The Kensington Hotel is a family-run business situated in a prominent position overlooking the Victorian gardens and sandy beach.

"The business has been run by the current owners since 2004 and is now being offered for sale due to retirement.

"Open all year, and benefiting from both commercial and leisure trade, this opportunity would ideally suit an existing operator who is looking to expand their portfolio.”

Maria Grimmer, whose family own The Kensington Hotel, said: "The Kensington occupies a most enviable setting on the seafront.
