4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

Lovely rooms decorated in a very homely style - made a lovely change from the bland hotel look. The staff are friendly, the restaurant has beautiful views of the sea front and the food is quite good. The only real disadvantage is the tiny car parking area.

I find your review to be quite a suprise and disappointing. All of our room rates include breakfast and have always done so we would only sell room only if you requested this with us. I have just walked the hotel corridors and am unable to find any noticable staining. I am unaware of any incident prior to today in... More

We booked this hotel at the last minute and there was no deluxe rooms left, however our room was beautiful on the 3rd floor with a sea view. We were provided with robes and slippers even though these were usually for the better rooms. My problem when staying at any hotel is being a Coeliac, there was no problem here... More

Our second stay at The Brudenell, good location and friendly staff. We had a deluxe room with big bay window and lovely to hear the sea from the room. We had an evening meal in the hotel that was very enjoyable and you get an excellent choice at breakfast. We would recommend this hotel.
