10/10 Exceptional

Lovely friendly staff as always and happy to accommodate ant request. Our group was able to check in early at no extra cost. Good selection of hot and cold food on the breakfast buffet. The only thing letting it down is that parts of the building are starting to look worn out and dated. The room could have done with being decorated as paint was starting to peel in places and in another group members room the radiator cover was damaged. Other than those little touches it was a great stay

6/10 Good

No, don’t expect too much! The hotel is a beautiful building and it’s in a great location but some of the rooms are a bit worn and tatty. The breakfast is pretty good and it was improved this morning with fruit on ice and smoothies. The staff in the breakfast room are great and if it’s not too busy will endeavour to seat you up with a Sea view. The price was reasonable, but it would seem that the hotel refuses to give you a fairly good room unless you pay more.

This morning at breakfast we had an improvement with fruit on ice and smoothies! Overall we were disappointed with the room, we had problems with a rattling window, a towel rail that we couldn’t turn on and off and a broken telephone. It was good that the twin was the same price as the double as it should be.
