We booked the budget rooms which were surprisingly spacious. The conservatory has lovely views of the water and it’s very easy to walk to the sea. We would return.

It a beautiful historic beach front hotel. The aura of the history was everywhere. The front desk people were very sweet. The glass terrace facing the beach was an exquisite place to sit. The green lawn at the front was very peaceful place. The breakfast I did not like so much, but there were plenty of other options around

We were upgraded when we arrived to a Seaview room. The room was a nice size, very clean with a wonderful view. Having steps straight onto a beautiful beach was amazing. The hotel staff very friendly and informative. We enjoyed using the Spa facilities. The only slight issue was there is very little parking however there is road side parking and if you do have to paid to park they do reimburse you.

Ignoring the scaffolding you see as you park up, once inside the Grand was excellent. Staff were very attentive, especially the bar staff.. Food whilst a limited menu, was excellent. Parking can be an issue but there is a pay and display 5 mins away. Rooms very modern and views fantastic. Would stay again happily...

We found the staff outstanding at this historic property with a breathtaking water view! The hot tub and sauna were a welcome treat after a day of hiking. Parking was not a problem but there is limited space in the parking lot. The neighborhood was quiet for a relaxing break, with the town centre close at hand if you want to stroll along the waterfront.

We had a wonderful 3 day stay at the Grand. We booked the lowest cost room which was compact but comfortable. We had a great view over the sea. Staff were helpful and food was great. We enjoyed the sauna and hot tub, and its possible to walk to the beach for a plunge. Its a pleasant 10 minute walk to the town centre.
