This truly unique hotel has had a major makeover since we last visited 20 years ago. The rooms are looking great, and the staff are very pleasant, although service can be a bit hit-and-miss at times.

60th Birthday Treat

We stayed for two nights to celebrate my 60th birthday. The hotel has such character and is on a beautiful island with amazing views in every direction. We particularly enjoyed a swim in the mermaid pool and dinner in the Pilchard Inn. The highlight was dressing for dinner and dining in the grand ballroom on my birthday. Our room, The Bentley Room, was beautifully decorated with a very comfortable bed and a balcony with fantastic views. We loved the history of the hotel and island and found the staff extremely helpful. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful architecture and setting awful hotel

Trading off its reputation and beautifully restored Art Deco Building , falls short in so many areas . The so called customer relations manager Vlad made a great show of our « very special « room only to show us to the worst room in the house so small it felt like we’d been put up in a caravan. Disgusting view of two roofs . My wife was reduced to tears a very special birthday trip ruined . How dare he mock his guests in such a contemptuous way. Fortunately we were accommodated in a more satisfactory room after one night by a more customer focused member of staff . The food was a disgrace either bland and tasteless or so overwhelming and overpowering as to be inedible after one night in the restaurant we cancelled and ate in the Pilchard Inn instead. The staff were largely charming and friendly although clearly untrained and unsupervised .

Wonderful Escapism A treat away for my 50th birthday. Exceptional service throughout our stay from bar and restaurant staff, through to the lovely cleaning ladies. Made my stay very special, fabulous food both at the Pilchard Inn and the black tie dinner. Any little issues were dealt with straight away and am already looking for an excuse to go back again, oh and you must brave it and take a swim in the mermaid pool.
