Good hotel in a perfect location.
Recently stayed 2 nights here for work purposes. First issue was finding somewhere to park, it is a big hotel with very little on site parking. Check in was very quick & easy & the staff were brilliant & friendly. The room itself was pretty comfy & warm, bathroom seemed a little outdated however. Never ate in the hotel so cant comment on the food. The hotel is in a brilliant location, 5 minute walk from the centre of town & a nice walk due to the nice weather i had.

The exterior of the hotel is excellent, beautiful garden with plenty of colour (Sept) with stunning views over the bay shops and places to eat within walking range around 5 mins , the general appearance on entering the building was grandeur, the professionalism from the reception was very pleasant and professional, after given our keys and directions to our room it sadly becomes a bit tired damaged and dirty walls and stairs in corridors stained carpet , the room was pleasant but house keeping could do better in the way of dusting otherwise fine , one detail I find unhygienic is the placement of bath towels etc on the corridor carpet not nice to see , otherwise staff very professional and attentive to your needs time and money spent could make this a beautiful place to stay thanks for the great stay.

The Hotel is such a beautiful building with the most gorgeous gardens but parts of the building need attention inside and out although I understand this is something that is to happen soon. Having said that the room itself was lovely, very comfortable, clean and warm. Had a tv and tea and coffee facilities, good shower and good clean soft towels. It is situated very central so not far to travel into the town where you can travel on to other areas. Would definitely go back again.

My partner and I had a wonderful stay. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was great and the view from room 342 was lovely. Breakfast was superb with a large choice suitable for all tastes. Overall the hotel was lovely but in areas it did look a little tired. We would definitely stay again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The hotel itself is located in a beautiful spot with panoramic sea views. You can see - in its day - it was an incredible hotel, the wooden panelling, staircases, dining areas still hold that charm. However, it feels a little abandoned, mismatched, stained carpets, 70’s bathrooms, a lack of atmosphere in general. It suited our purpose but overpriced. Hopefully, it will be reinstated to its former glory sooner rather than later.
