Impressive Victorian building located on the seafront. Plenty parking, £10 for one night payable at reception. All the staff were helpful and friendly. Check in was quick, 3 receptionist on duty. The hotel and room was decorated in traditional style. The room was comfortable and clean, toiletries, tea and coffee provided. We had sandwiches in the bar at night which arrived quickly and were very good, £7.25 each. Breakfast was average but acceptable, tea and coffee served at the table which had a seaview. Overall the stay was much better than expected given some recent reviews and was good value for money

Beautiful old world - style hotel in prime location. Enjoyed the sea view immensely, comfy bed, spacious room, new-ish bathroom, but interior/furniture in the room a bit shabby (especially the armchairs and the curtains!). Only basic coffee & tea station, no caffeine free or herbal options. Service at breakfast very slow, and partly unexperienced, its only for the tea & coffee... Still a comfortable place to come to!

Disappointed

Property has had its day. Trying to present as upmarket. Have stopped here before many years ago and was bitterly disappointed, however it is not represented in the prices charged. Should have been better stopping it a premium inn.

The whole place is in need of a facelift with obvious wear and tear in my room and public spaces. The spa and pool appears to be permanently closed which would add value to the place.

Stayed a couple of nights in a standard double room. Room size ok but very very dated, bath stained, sink cracked, sash window straight onto kitchen porter area so noise from early in a morning. Tv perched on a floor standing tv stand so you couldn’t really see it from the bed. Lovely old historic building but that doesn’t mean they should of let standards drop which unfortunately they have
