Excellent!!

We had a fabulous 3 night mid-week stay. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The staff were attentive and really friendly and the food in the restaurant was exquisite. We had intended to find other places to eat during our stay but the food was so good here there was absolutely no point. I would highly recommend this hotel.

A two day break.

I booked late so the restaurant was fully booked but they made space for me in the conservatory. The staff could not be kinder or more helpful. The food is outstanding. I always look forward to returning.

Nice hotel in a good location

Beautiful hotel located close to the beach although there is a very steep hill down to the promenade so not ideal for anyone with mobility issues. Staff were very welcoming and efficient and I particularly liked that breakfast was made to order (also a good selection). Only negatives was shower pressure was not great and my breakfast wasn’t hot.
