“The Elmer, a pub with rooms, offers a surprisingly stylish stay a short walk from Elmer Sands beach. I was particularly struck by the individually decorated rooms, which offer more character than you might expect from a typical Bognor Regis hotel. The enthusiastic staff and cooked-to-order breakfast create a genuinely welcoming atmosphere.”
