Such a beautiful hotel, staff were fantastic and the food is absolutely delicious. I stayed in room 101, which had an outside terrace. The room and bathroom were huge and the bed extremely comfortable. So great that I booked a couple of night for my next business trip. Thank you.

An excellent experience. I was in one of the newly built rooms in the extension. A view out over the town to the sea. Beatifully appointed room. Tastefully decorated and a pleasure to retire to.

Lovely refurbished rooms but when we checked in the air con was at 13c so it was very cold. We wore our coats on till room heated up. Shame as the room so cold we ended up going out sooner. Shower very good, nice bedding and good breakfast.

My stay at the hotel as always was really good! Staff are really friendly and my room this time was great as I was on top floor so really quiet. Food is amazing!! £10.40 for a glass of wine is quite steep though.
