8/10 Very good

Booked for a last minute get away.

We had a fantastic time at the Grand. The hotel is currently undergoing some needed renovation work, but overall its not an issue. It would have been nice if we could adjust the heating in our room, rather than rely on the windows being open, but it was manageable. I'm sure once all rooms are complete it will be amazing. The fat badger bar had a great vibe and fantastic staff. The staff on check in were really helpful too. Limited parking spots, but for a fantastic location with views across the sea and to the Abbey it's certainly worth it.
