The staff are excellent - friendly, professional and nothing is too much trouble for them. The chef is to be complimented - the menu is good , food excellent and well... More

This a bit of a mixed review. Stayed here for 3 nights and had a good time. The room was spacious and housekeeping did a good job with cleaning. There were some problems. The decor was a bit shabby - wallpaper had water stains and the wooden surround in bathroom was cracked and broken. The shower was terrible - started... More

This has been a great restaurant and hotel but the question is whether it still is. i cannot comment on the hotel but the restaurant recently surprised me greatly when an email inquiry was simply ignored! I wanted to book the restaurant for a 'high tea' for a number of people and wanted to know if they would help. As... More

Stayed with friends over the bank holiday weekend. The hotel was busy but everything was tip top. My room 410 was spotless - dinner was faultless and the service in the bar lounge by Victoria outstanding. Would not hesitate to recommend this traditional seafront hotel where the new manager and chef are already making noticeable changes
