All the staff were friendly and super helpful. The resident pianist Alan was just fab. He was not only good but made you feel very welcome and spoke personally and passionately about the songs he was playing and gave some history behind them. He played all types of music and even asked the type of music we liked etc so he could play some for us. It was a pleasure to sit and listen to him. Our room was large and very comfortable and having the balcony that wrapped around made the views even better. They could do with a bit of TLC but not so much that it took away how nice they were. We are already planning to revisit but for a little longer as we were only on a stop over before travelling down to Kent. The staff really are an asset.

The 5 stars were missing. It’s actually a 3 star rather than 5 hotel. It was a blend hotel; & room with no soul although spacious and with sea views. The stairs and room carpet was dirty, the bed was rock hard which gave us serous back pain and we had to take painkillers to recover from it. The breakfast was cold and lack quality

Room and view fabulous but dining experience in the evening leaves a lot to be desired. Slow service, awful wine glasses, soup much too thick, low on choice and where I was expecting a nice piano to give background some ambiance, it was loud, in your face and man talking about music to us, just kept talking through the whole meal, not giving us a chance to speak to each other. He was talented though, but another pianist took over for a short time, and he was the perfect blend. Value for money quite poor.
