Fabulous location and once you get past the dated decor, this hotel has a lot going for it. Yes it’s not perfect but it has a certain charm and I’ll always book to stay here. Gorgeous beach views in certain rooms and the staff we came across were very friendly. You get what you pay for but we love it. Can’t be beaten on ease of access to the beach and sea front.

Grand location, right on the cliffs overlooking the beach and beachfront attractions. The Grand Hotel is Victorian era grandeur with charm but has seen better days. We found a bargain with some trade offs that were worth it for us.
