About Channel View

Channel View is a Victorian Building on the seafront Esplanade. Our self catering apartments are on the first and second floors of the building; there is a family restaurant and two shops on the ground floor. There are no lifts and, as such, the accommodation is only suitable for ambulant visitors.
