Great location and range of facilities
A 4pm check in timeline is ridiculous The room service options and quality was poor
Everything although bar staff were very sullen

Staff, location, room.
Bathroom shower poorly designed for purpose. great shower, but water went everywhere due to poor design.That shouldn't bother me as its not my property, but just poor design for purpose really.
Very friendly staff and comfortable room. Evening meal in the restaurant was delicious and good value.
Decor was rather dated. Breakfast was either a flat fee of GBP 25 (full buffet) or GBP 16 (continental) despite having been told in advance that we could order a la carte. Beds were also on the small size.

Good location. Excellent food staff couldn’t do enough for you .. was impressed that the cinema was showing the latest movies
Can you put some hooks up in ladies locker room .. for bath robes/clothes
Charming hotel with great facilities; comfortable bed; room very clean; lovely pool area, excellent location and parking.Really great friendly and professional staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Wonderful dinner in the hotel restaurant; lovely quality of ingredients, taste and menu variety.Would definitely come back and wished we could stay longer.
A little bit hot in the room and cooking smells from the kitchen filled it because we needed to keep windows open for the fresh air. But it's an old place, so you can't have it all.On behalf of the staff: They looked really smart in their classic uniforms, however we really felt for them, particularly in this very hot weather. The uniforms looked extremely uncomfortable, restrictive and totally unsuitable for efficiency of carrying out cleaning jobs and for the hot climate. They did not mention this to us - it is our observation.
This is a lovely Victorian era hotel with all the most luxurious mod cons! The outside pool was very warm (although a little too shallow to actually swim), there are two tennis courts, a massive lawn with a path down to the beach, two comfortable lounges, a brasserie restaurant as well as a gym and indoor pool.
I got a little lost getting back to my room as the hotel is so huge and the layout is very complicated!
The bedroom was spacious and clean. Bed comfy with a choice of pillows. The shower was nice and hot and the body and hair washes smelled lovely. The view from our room was, as promised, of the sea. It was close to the beach however the outdoor and indoor pools were not busy and there were plenty of reclining seats fit the time of year. Parking was no problem . The staff were very friendly and efficient. Continental breakfast was great after we had clarified the extra cost. It was a lovely quirky building with plenty of relaxing areas. I used the Spa and had a lovely massage.
There was some confusion over breakfast costs. £25 each for breakfast was very steep and the reception staff didn't know about the reduced price for the continental choice which was £16. We went out to a local cafe for breakfast but once we queried with the restaurant manager Jonathan we then had continental breakfast at the hotel which was amazing and fresh and enough for us. The fridge in our room was spasmodically noisy during the night so we switched it off.
We booked the sea view with a balcony with absolutely wonderful views over the pool and the beach. Sunset amazing. We were V lucky with the weather being so good we spent a lot of time by the outside pool. Sunbeds v comfortable with shade. Gym also classes and spa v good Short walk to the beach which is sandy and has on the beach refreshments and facilities at the entrance. Shops cafe bars within a short walk from hotel or nice coastal walks. Our room was modern and interesting decor, the bathroom is new and spotlessly clean the whole hotel was! Beds comfy only issue was the drawers are flat to the floor not on legs. Dinner was delicious and there was plenty to choose from.
Around the pool area no refreshments you have to dress and go over to the indoor bar and order drinks. For this type of hotel it does need either a poolside bar or staff coming round maybe at a set time to offer. Or a telephone or ordering pad. Then brought over. No menu displayed many guests asked us about drinks. On booking there are Options to have RO or add on breakfast I was surprised as the price of the room it should be included. £25pp £15 pchild is excessive. The only other thing we didn't like was having to leave
The staff and facilities of the hotel and spa were amazing, very friendly. Helped with luggage, kept the room made up every day.
The evening restaurant was a bit of a letdown. The staff were not as friendly as the hotel staff and the food wasn't the best in the area, but it was the most expensive.
Beautiful and glamorous, ideally situated on the Coast Path (if, like me, you are walking the route) in lovely private gardens. There is everything you’d want - swimming pool, spa, cinema, bar…The staff were great - the lady on reception was so helpful.
You’ve got to understand that this is an expensive hotel - my room had no sea view and a little bit of noise from the air conditioning at the back. But I chose that and wanted the location and pool! Oh, and no breakfast. This cost £25 but was worth paying for! So bear that in mind and balance it all up.
A beautiful hotel with wonderful views. Very comfortable.
Didn't sleep well due to loud extractor fan outside window. View of flat roof from our room not great but this would not put us off from staying again. Would ask for a sea view next time!!! Just stayed for one night but would have requested a move if any longer.
