The staff are what makes this place great. All very helpful and friendly. Hotel and room is tired, but the xmas effort made it feel very sparkly and christmassy!
Breakfast delicous.
Wasn’t sure why no toiletries on offer, this is very unusual for a hotel in this price bracket. Only stayed 1 night so not too challenging.

Room was good with a great ocean view. The staff were very kind, the room was spacious, and the heating worked well, so overall I had a comfortable stay and I would recommend this hotel for the ocean view. However, there were some water-stain marks on the ceiling (not an active leak, just old marks), and the hotel does feel a bit dated. Breakfast was not very impressive.

Staff were friendly, great location by the beachfront. Good size room with a good view over the sea. Parking on street nearby.
All the staff were friendly and super helpful. The resident pianist Alan was just fab. He was not only good but made you feel very welcome and spoke personally and passionately about the songs he was playing and gave some history behind them. He played all types of music and even asked the type of music we liked etc so he could play some for us. It was a pleasure to sit and listen to him. Our room was large and very comfortable and having the balcony that wrapped around made the views even better. They could do with a bit of TLC but not so much that it took away how nice they were. We are already planning to revisit but for a little longer as we were only on a stop over before travelling down to Kent. The staff really are an asset.
Nice view just wondering why a 5 star hotel would charge for water

The 5 stars were missing. It’s actually a 3 star rather than 5 hotel. It was a blend hotel; & room with no soul although spacious and with sea views. The stairs and room carpet was dirty, the bed was rock hard which gave us serous back pain and we had to take painkillers to recover from it. The breakfast was cold and lack quality
We loved our stay at the Chatsworth. Everyone was friendly and attentive. Food in the restaurant was Delicious, well priced and Large portions. We shall return.
Beautiful spacious room overlooking the sea with the biggest bed I’ve ever seen in England. Staff were all good people. Should have stayed here longer!
