Wonderful

Parking was easy, lots of spaces and all free. Bar had a good feel to it, some cosy corners if preferred. Food was very good and breakfast was good, great choice
It was clean and quiet plenty of parking easy to find the only down side was there was no welcome pack in are room it turned up the the day before we left but we will be going back great place to stay
Overall a pleasant stay. The beds were very comfy. Breakfast was a pleasant experience, very relaxed. Room cleanliness was good but some minor defects found with lighting and the shower. The communal areas should be cleaned more regularly or carefully. Some stickiness to door handles and surfaces.
Great room, friendly staff. Easy check in and out. Will stay again.

Disappointing
Check in chaos, manager inept, tried to charge us again! Shame because the young bar staff were lovely, friendly and efficient. Rooms need upgrade and a good clean
A grand hotel in a very upmarket area. Close enough to the coast to enjoy all the resorts. Definitely the smartest hotel weve ever stayed in. Enjoyed a lovely weekend here. Would 100% stay again.
The room was beautiful and spacious. We really enjoyed our stay. We wanted to stay for another night but already fully booked.
We definitely coming back again.
The hotel was welcoming and the room was spacious, and comfortable, if a little stuffy. It was at the top of the building and the windows would only open a little. The room would have been less stuffy had the windows been opened before we arrived, and the blinds drawn. It was clean, and the linen was all good.
All in all, a pleasant stay.
