The Grand Hotel

The Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed at the Grand as I wanted to experience an old English style seaside holiday, I was not disappointed. I arrived by train and it was steps away from the station, only a short walk to the beach, shops and alternative places to eat. I Had two dinners in the restaurant, overlooking the sea which were both lovely. All the staff I met were helpful and friendly. The Hotel is full of old style charm and you just wouldn't get that in a new property so it is a unique place to stay and I would definitely return."

8/10 Good
"On arrival we were welcomed by the very friendly receptionist. Even though we were early, the room was ready and welcoming. The hotel is old and full of character but tastefully decorated, giving an airy feeling. It appears to have been recently refurbished to a good standard. The bed was very comfortable and the large bathroom had a really good over bath shower! Breakfast was very pleasing! Staff were friendly and attentive, providing everything we needed. The food was fresh and beautifully cooked, locally sourced. Nothing was too much trouble. The only disappointment was not having a garden as advertised, but this was explained. We had a very pleasant few days."
