The hotel is excellent, the staff are friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious and clean and warm ( it is spring and cold outside). The food was very good as a ex chef I couldn't fault it. The pool and and jacuzzi was nice also had a sauna but I didn't use it. The hotel is on a cliff so expect a climb from the town. A very nice Victorian hotel with wonderful views.

Lovely place to stay. Very clean. Fantastic food. Very friendly staff and owners. Great gym and hot tub. Had a very nice and relaxing massage from Louise. Got up graded. Will deffinatatly be going back. Only down side no shower cubical only shower over bath. Not easy access for disabled. Though there are walk in showers in the gym area, but these are down a flight of stairs. But over all, excellent place to stay.

Lovely Victorian hotel, sea view if you have front rooms which we were lucky to get. Breakfast was perfectly cooked and great choice from traditional full breakfast to smoked salmon, muesli with yogurt and berries is a must . Rooms spotless clean, nice spacious bar, there is a swimming pool and a gym (didn't use it on our 1 night stay), close to centre (10/15 min walk). Loved it

Redecorations are great. Kept the timely feels but gave it a nice modern touch. Our room was surprisingly big, with some lovely sea views! Bathroom slightly smaller but absolutely okay for the price. Generally this is a very serene and nice hotel given the region. Not much going on in the immediate surroundings but that can be a positive thing. Only down side would be the sound insulation, but quite honestly in a building of this age that is to be expected.

Convenient for the cliff lift. On the downside the room was smaller than expected and the bathroom was very small. Difficult to get in and out of the bath/shower. Grab handles on the wall over the bath would have been helpful. We did not find the mealtimes very accommodating but probably due to the hotel looking after it's staff and only seating half the capacity.

Nice hotel in a lovely location, great views from the front rooms. Our room was large, clean and more than adequate for a few nights stay. Breakfast was all served to your table with plenty of choice and was a good start to the day. It's a hard slog back up the hill from town/beach. (Tip) Using the lift at the Spa takes you up the cliff and to within 200yds of the front door. Would consider staying again, and recommend.
