Palm Court Hotel  

We were very dissapointed with the swimming pool, whilst it was clean and appealing when you actually got in the pool the water was very cold, the reasons for choosing the hotel was that we had our grand children who in bad weather are happy to swim and given they had a swimming pool it seemed to be the ideal choice. It was so cold one went in for 30 seconds the other along with my wife lasted one minute. I did complain at reception who did apologise, but given the cost of the stay is that enough, I don't think so and will be writing to the hotel asking for some form of compensation for loss of enjoyment.

This hotel has improved in every aspect - we have been visiting for many years! The service from every member of staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The food is now exceptional in quality and presentation. The value is excellent with a bottle of house wine (of which there was plenty of choice) included in the price for dinner. There is a monthly menu but additional choices each evening. We enjoyed our stay - we just like one night away at a time but want to do that on a very regular basis and will choose the Palm Court every time as well as recommending it to our friends and family.

This was our second visit to Palm Court after a very enjoyable first visit last year, we really did have another nice stay and plan to go back again this year!!

Lovely hotel, friendly staff, excellent food. We would definately recommend this hotel to friends and family.

Lovely relaxing public lounge area with fresh lillies and glossy mags

Bedrooms were too warm to be comfortable in and the swimming pool is more like a play pool suitable for children rather than a pool for adult swimming

the friendly staff just a really nice hotel

Worth upgrade to executive room - made all the difference in terms of comfort. Excellent location and breakfasts.

Stupid idea to only set the four middle touching tables for breakfast. A huge great room with four couples squashed up in the middle. Love watching someone sitting closer to my partner than I am, eating a sausage mouth open, while they listen to my conversation.

We had stayed there some years ago and been very happy. It is,apparently, still owned and run by the same family. We like the convenient location - close to centre and seafront. The free car parking is a great bonus. The staff were all attentive and friendly. The food was excellent. Because we were out walking alll day each day, we did not manage the pool this time!

Our bedroom (20) was very nice but it was exceptionally warm (I think this is under consideration). Also the pub across the road was rather noisy after our bedtimes.

The food was exceptional, the staff couldn't do enough to please.

Bedrooms need updating. Water damage to ceiling and badly stained seating.

On arrival reception staff friendly, helpful and informative. The hotel has private car parking,and very close to shops and harbour. Rooms are clean and comfortable with hairdryer trouser press, tea and coffee making facilities. Breakfast excellent with plenty of choice. Palm court is a friendly family run hotel and well worth a visit.

Room we stayed in the hose on the shower could have done with renewing more water coming out of the hose than the shower head.

Efficient and friendly old fashioned service.

The staff were nice,the swimming area was cold ish and the room was quite small but well equiped for one night but no longer due to size no view ,breakfast was good plenty of choice

We were not impressed by the pool
