Easy checkin, room was tidy and clean. We had one of the ground level rooms facing the back street with a generous deck. Bed was comfortable, however felt the towels could be better quality and size.
The Duke restaurant is amazing, fantastic views and good food and wine menu.
Beautiful historic building at a prime location so would stay again,

The staff in the restaurant were very professional, friendly and helpful. We enjoyed dinner and breakfast, and the meals were excellent and very reasonably priced… however; the room service staff forgot to service our room. The reception staff did the right thing and credited our previous day’s breakfast to compensate for the lack of room service. We would love to visit again, definitely opting for a room facing the water

Enjoyable overnight stay. Love this hotel and it's feel with all the historic art and beautiful Lester Hall artwork.
Quiet time of the year to stay in the area. Bed was very comfortable. Shower box very small and dark could do with extra lighting as black shower curtain adds to darkness.
Staff check in and check out needs work before Summer hits.

Lovely room with a very comfy bed

I stayed here for three nights and after an awkwardness over my fault twin booking all went well. Its a bit noisy, to be expected but the north side room view made up for that.
I liked it but let down by the tired pricey restaurant. There's vastly better options down the attractive Strand foreshore. Tha Gables is amazing, Seaside has good fare and the Pompallier cottage cafe great for teas and tours.

Absolutely perfect! Very sad to leave.

It’s a fine old building in a very pretty place. Our room was small..difficult to open our cases. It was unbearably hot despite the thermostat being turned down. We ate in the restaurant which has to be seen to be believed. The service and food were all good.

Beautiful room with stunning water views from our private verandah. The spa bath was a lovely treat too! Classic and tasteful decor throughout tue hotel gave a sense of nostalgia and opulent luxury. A very easy stroll to all of the village amenities. We only wished we had booked more than one nights accommodation.

A beautiful old world splendour greets you when you walk in the door. The receptionists were friendly and accommodating. Upon entering the room I was pleased to see the cleanliness and freshness of the facilities. It was obvious that the bathroom and sleeping facilities had been beautifully renovated to make the grand rooms downstairs. I would highly recommend The this accommodation.
