Relaxing

All staff, ( reception, spa, housemaids) were excellent. Room was clean but found the pillows too hard and uncomfortable and the room was a bit noisy being at the back above the kitchen. Teaspoons would be handy for making cups of tea instead of sticks !

Not enough towels or pillows in room to start, bathroom could be refreshed but a decent size, shower had to be stepped up into & wasn’t very big. Bed was comfortable. We were in 133 & it was a trek to get to it. Looked out to the car park at back & got to listen to the garbage & bottles being dumped. Found a spider on my towel this morning.

No longer Grand

The hotel is quite tired and being run a a shoe string. It is under staffed, rooms are not serviced except by request on longer stays. Threadbare carpets and always something broken in room. This location is beautiful but hotel needs investment

Good Stay

Hotel Staff were Very Nice. Parking/ Car Park is accessible. The bedroom was nice but maybe on the smaller side. The bed had a few back marks on the sheets. One downside to being next to the sea is that you can hear the seagulls all night but this isn’t the hotels fault. No coffee or Tea in the room. Good Stay!
