Review summary
Based on recent reviews
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 room excellent bathroom helpful 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 size cool lighting amazing view
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 was like minimal effort was put into it from the coffee machine not working properly to collecting unappetizing food.

poor service cold salad
The restaurant service was really abysmal. i waited ages for my food, it was not a pleasant experience. my salad was cold and had no dressing. I was very disappointed. the staff didn't seem to care much, tables weren't cleared quickly, and no one offered any help.
