As always the staff were fantastically friendly and the food in the restaurant was superb. The rooms are comfortable with all the facilities you would expect from a hotel of this standard. This will certainly not be our last visit, I can highly recommend it. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/69c7690c-8e53-4755-8f21-6283e5df85c7-1758135373145.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Derrick Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angas 6 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities All the staff were great, very friendly and exceptionally helpful. The room was cleaned to a high standard every day. There were several quiet corners to sit in but still feel part of the hotel. The food was excellent with a wide choice. The bar area was very comfortable and the staff exceptional. Access to the car park was simple with plenty of space. ##### Angas Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mick 7 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities A fantastic hotel in a brilliant location. will come back again. ##### Mick Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Rachel 21 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really enjoyed our stay at the Sir Walter Raleigh Hotel. It’s a gorgeous setting and our room looked right out over the water, such a view! Staff were lovely and breakfast was spot on. The room was on the smaller side, and the window could do with replacing as the bottom panel spoiled the view a little, plus we noticed some traffic noise in the mornings. But honestly, those are tiny things compared to how much we loved it here. Would definitely stay again. ##### Rachel Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jean 17 Nov 2024 Liked: Amenities Lovely restaurant and bar ##### jean Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine 25 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities A lovely hotel & all the staff were very helpful. ##### Catherine Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela 24 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It was a lovely property with a very nice breakfast.

Comfortable hotel, with wonderful views of the sea from front facing rooms. Traffic can be noisy though. Staff seemed to be scarce - often no-one on reception, or in bar, but those who were on duty were very willing and helpful. We were a large family group, and they went out of their way to keep us together for breakfast and dining - service was good. ##### Sandra Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Gillian 23 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Booked via Expedia for 4 nights half board. On checking out was told half board meant 4 nights bed, breakfast and 2 evening meals so had to pay for extra 2 meals. The double room was tiny really only a single.
