Our garden room view was amazing !
When we checked in the receptionist charged us for 2 dogs instead of 1 with parking we were hit with a bill of £296 on arrival we went back later and were refunded for the price of an extra dog but not a good experience

Value for money
The expensive cost of the breakfast. Also there’s no ‘family rooms’ for the swimming are to change into.
Be aware that you’ll have to walk up a steep hill to get to the property.

All was fine, but disappointed that the evening meal menu didn’t change. Really disappointing.
As I’ve said above the evening menu, not being changed. The three days we were there we had the same menu. Not good.

Fantastic position, beautiful interior and great views of the bay from our balcony, where there’s plenty of room to sit and relax.
Could do with a lick of paint, but otherwise, a lovely place to stay.

Dust on the light fittings and on the hangers in the wardrobe. The room must not have been used in a while

Lovely sea view.
When you book a spa hotel you expect to be able to use spa, swimming pool and jacuzzi out of use. I would have liked to be informed about this prior to arrival so I could cancel and book alternative spa hotel, reason for booking this hotel was the spa.
Waited 30 minutes in queue to check in.Being charged for parking on hotel grounds.

Nice hotel history
My wife and I stayed 1 night in room 403 and when we woke the morning of check out we were very itchy and uncomfortable. We believe we were bitten all over by bed bugs. We have asked the hotel the investigate if bed bugs are in the bed, and the old bedding that is provided but simply covered with clean sheets and duvet and pillow case.

Bit wary after many reviews said dated. Maybe to a younger element, i would prefer to say it had character. Very clean and well looked after. Lovely large room with great view. Staff friendly. Only 5-10 minute walk to harbour/town.
Walking up the hill back to hotel.🙂

The reception area and breakfast room were very nice. Period correct and great features.
The rooms were probably great in the 90s or 00s. Very dated and poor bathrooms. For £300 per night, to not have a fridge and have cheap sachet drinks is poor. Had better £100 stays.

I was upgraded to a sea view absolutely loved it wish I could have stayed longer!

Elegant Hotel, Bed comfortable. hotel clean. Breakfast was good.
Very poor bar service (lunchtime). Sandwiches were door stops, not elegant, more fitting to a greasy spoon.
There was not a fridge in the bedroom.
8.0
location, view over bay, swimming pool and sun beds, breakfast!! staff!!
room was magnificent !
most lifts were out of order, only one for all guests and staff. the walk from lift to room was inclusive of two flights of stairs and three corridors!
this was unacceptable, with no sign of repair due. there appeared to be no air conditioning in the hotel and fans were being utilised in the restaurant.
health and safety not good S outside hand rails are all worn, rotten and broken with bails protruding. one came off in my hand.

Loved everything and staff were very helpful as my husband is in a wheelchair and needed ramps to go up & down for breakfast but was no problem at all, love the fact they allow dogs to

The location was great for access to the harbour bars and shops. The dog friendly room was perfect with easy access form the room straight to the gardens
The bed was a bit small

Everything! The sea view room we had was amazing, so big and a huge balcony! Some of the furniture in the rooms was a bit dated but didn't bother us! Only a 5 min walk to the harbour and all the bars/restaurants. Parking on site as well. Will be staying here again and can highly recommend.

The sea view was amazing, very comfortable bed and the pool was nice, although a bit cold.
Carpet in our room definitely needs updated or at least a good clean. I have a 6 month old who was crawling around the room but the carpet looked very dirty so it wasn’t ideal.
