Wonderful stay. This was a surprise mini-moon gifted to us by family and it did not disappoint. Service was exceptional throughout, the hotel is different and memorable, but luxurious. Food was excellent, as well as the cocktails. It was just the relaxing few days by the sea we needed!

A fantastic break.

The hotel has a fantastic location on its own island, which is 'cut off' (not completely, there is a sea tractor) for a few hours at every high tide.It's unique in its Art Deco style. The staff are all very helpful and friendly. Food is good and the 1920/30s themed band with dancing 3 times a week is lots of fun.

Wow

Wow what an amazing art deco hotel in an amazing location. The welcome was personal and warm. Nothing was too much trouble, every member of staff was so helpful. The food was great as well and I would not hesitate recommending a stay at this hotel. In addition it is a great example of art deco architecture as well as fixtures and fittings.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The staff were effortlessly, smoothly friendly and professional and the surroundings were just beautiful. I liked that all the men were in their black tie suits at dinner-gave it a lovely vibe-and I thought I would feel underdressed but was also made to feel really comfortable. I would say my fish was a bit overcooked and the falafel canape was a little dry, but otherwise the food was delicious (the duck parfait was lovely) and the wine flight was well-thought out and worked with the dishes. The island itself and surrounding beach is just breathtaking and the room (Amy Johnson) was well-themed. Just missing some cups by the sink for toothbrushes ;-) But otherwise, just a brilliant stay.

This truly unique hotel has had a major makeover since we last visited 20 years ago. The rooms are looking great, and the staff are very pleasant, although service can be a bit hit-and-miss at times.

60th Birthday Treat

We stayed for two nights to celebrate my 60th birthday. The hotel has such character and is on a beautiful island with amazing views in every direction. We particularly enjoyed a swim in the mermaid pool and dinner in the Pilchard Inn. The highlight was dressing for dinner and dining in the grand ballroom on my birthday. Our room, The Bentley Room, was beautifully decorated with a very comfortable bed and a balcony with fantastic views. We loved the history of the hotel and island and found the staff extremely helpful. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful architecture and setting awful hotel

Trading off its reputation and beautifully restored Art Deco Building , falls short in so many areas . The so called customer relations manager Vlad made a great show of our « very special « room only to show us to the worst room in the house so small it felt like we’d been put up in a caravan. Disgusting view of two roofs . My wife was reduced to tears a very special birthday trip ruined . How dare he mock his guests in such a contemptuous way. Fortunately we were accommodated in a more satisfactory room after one night by a more customer focused member of staff . The food was a disgrace either bland and tasteless or so overwhelming and overpowering as to be inedible after one night in the restaurant we cancelled and ate in the Pilchard Inn instead. The staff were largely charming and friendly although clearly untrained and unsupervised .
