"Not a bad hotel really but don’t think I would stay again as it wasn’t my choice in the first place"

5.0

I didn’t have the breakfast it was too expensive! £22 wow

My single bed was a nightmare. But the room was lovely and really clean. Water pressure was terrible, from the taps and the shower. Water was also only warm not hot.

"Very nice location and very nice view"

7.0

Location was good and we were upgraded to have a sea view. All the staff were friendly and helpful.

Didn't eat in the restaurant as it seemed very quiet and lacking in people. Maybe due to high cost. Bathroom was a bit dated and controls for the shower looked complicated

"Good food very friendly staff."

Excellent for easy access to all local amenities. Opposite the beach and a good patio to eat or have tea watching people walking by on the esplanade.

Would have liked a pool as the weather was so hot

1 Location 2 Shower, once the hot water arrived but the pressure rather low.

A four star hotel should have an armchair in the bedroom and table space.

"Helped by the weather, I really enjoyed it and will return with my wife next year."

9.0

My breakfast was perfectly good although I didn't get what I ordered but I couldn't be bothered to do anything about it because I was in a hurry! It mattered not. My room was superb with really nice cotton sheets and everything you could wish for. I was in Room 207 and my only complaint was that at 5.40am on Sunday morning I was woken by footsteps and too-ing and fro-ing immediately above. That continued for an hour or so on and off - I imagine it was a staff member. Having got to bed at about 1am I ended up a touch tired but not emotional! Again, minor in my view.

Nothing - the staff were brilliant and the hotel fantastically old fashioned in its approach - rare and as a result I felt like royalty.
