Powered by AI
Guests often enjoy the spacious rooms, many offering lovely sea views. The Victorian spa area with modern facilities like the pool and sauna is a recurring highlight, and the gym is also a popular amenity. Breakfast is generally considered great, although some guests have noted that the heating in the rooms can be difficult to control. The hotel's cliffside location provides nice views across the sea, and you'll find it conveniently situated.

Wonderful Stay with Excellent Amenities

spacious roomexcellent bathroomhelpful staff
The hotel offers a clean and spacious room. I found the bathroom excellent and spotlessly cleaned. The sea view from the room was lush, particularly beautiful in the morning, and I secured a parking space just outside. I greatly appreciated it. The staff proved lovely and helpful.
The radiator pipes made noise. This kept me awake through the night.

lovely hotel stay

great sizecool lightingamazing viewcomplete refurbishment
the room had great size and cool lighting made it a nice space. the bathroom felt big too with good fittings. i thought the view was really amazing from the window. it definitely added to my stay.
The hotel could use a complete refurbishment. I noticed that the communal areas felt quite tired. the breakfast experience was also poor. it seemed like minimal effort was put into it from the coffee machine not working properly to collecting unappetizing food.
