Walking distance to beach through gardens. Off road parking. Room clean and roomy but over the bath shower not suitable for old people. Would not recommend the restaurant for dinner but a good choice of breakfast items.

Very impressed. Although the room was a bit dated it was spotlessly clean. The garden and views are very impressive and the staff were helpful. Lovely buffet breakfast and the swimming pool area was very modern. We used it twice and had it to ourselves! I'd put it above 3 stars.

We booked a club accessible room on the ground floor. We were given a first floor club room with no accessible features. The toilet was normal height without any foldable lift arm and the small shower cubicle was one step up so I couldn't use it at all. The arm caps on the armchair were filthy as was the sink plughole, the smell of which made me retch. The dressing table and stool had no mirror, there was one in the shower room bolted to the wall. The twin beds pushed together to create a 'King' size bed were a bit saggy and the pillows were rock hard. Breakfast was largely self service and the notice in the lift advised that us to get there early if we wanted hot food. I had fruit salad and the orange slice weren't peeled. I opted for yoghurt in the end which felt safer. My husband had a cooked meal but was unimpressed. The only hotel I have EVER stayed in where, we got up early to avail ourselves of hot food and then came back to bed because we were tired. Definitely not worth the £394.20 we were charged,which lacking a receipt we cannot offer a breakdown of. I cannot recommend this tired lackluster old hotel. The gardens were nice; didn't try the pool. Apparently facing the gardens and glimpsing the sea made our room a Club room!

Could be a really special hotel!

What a lovely hotel this could be! Great location and grounds, but understaffed and a bit tired. That being said, staff were friendly & helpful and the room was spacious. We stayed with our dog and the facilities provided for furry-friends are great. The pool is warm and clean. Would come back.

Room and bathroom is quite dated and could do with some sprucing up. The view from the room was a walk with foot traffic above that could see in through the windows. The bed was uncomfortable with very flat pillows. In the middle of the night. I woke up to itchy bug bites on my face and arms and found bed bugs on the pillows and mattress. Informed reception staff upon checking out the next morning and was told “thanks for letting us know”. Breakfast was as expected, croissants were very light and fluffy. The hotel is easily accessible and just a short walk through the gardens to the sea front and town.

TRULY AWFUL EXPERIENCE

We have just had a 5 night stay at this hotel and I can honestly say that this was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in and I have stayed in many around the world. The only good thing going for it are the grounds which are stunning. We booked dinner bed and breakfast. The "hot" buffet breakfast was cold every morning. scrambled eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, bacon, sausage, hash browns - good selection but cold. Had the option poached or fried eggs but when poached eggs arrived they weren't cooked. There were the usual pastries and overipe fruit. It was truly awful. The waitresses were even advising people not to order the eggs!!! The evening meals were terrible as well. OK you could pick from the menu but it was pot luck whether the chef could cook it! On two evenings I had to send my soup back as it was cold. One time the hot crusty roll turned out to be a piece of bread with margarine and the next time the hot roll was still frozen inside. One evening apparently they had an agency chef who didn't know how to cook - the manager warned the people who had booked for evening meal that this was the case but those who had dinner included in their stay were not so faced with not having anything to eat that evening we sent out for a Chinese takeaway. Barman disappeared for long periods - so long that guests were pulling their own pints! Beware of dog friendly - the dining room is very small and the dogs are sat with their noses on the table eyeing up the food!
Room with a view - not
Standard room and they wouldn't change it even though I wanted to upgrade
