Breakfast and Dinner excellent Service and food was very good, staff were all great.

John United Kingdom

It is a beautiful hotel with very high standards. It isn't modern, but the photos will tell you that. The rooms are a great size, comfortable and clean. The staff were amazing, the breakfast that we had was good (if it isn't included in the price of your room then perhaps look elsewhere as it definitely wasn't amazing - pretty standard full English).

Lauren United Kingdom

Grand is a very appropriate description of this hotel , from the entrance to staff all the way to our room. With nice 5 star touches in the room Wash kit coffee machine And many more And the views from the junior suite sea views make any day noon or night breathtaking.

Tim United Kingdom

What a beautiful place, it certainly lives up to its name! Very comfortable rooms and beautiful communal spaces, immaculately kept.

Alison United Kingdom

The location was brilliant for access to the beach. The hotel is big and therefore social distancing was easy, plenty of measures in place to keep everyone safe. The outdoor heated pool was a real winner with the kids. Dog friendly which was brilliant for us!

Aliza United Kingdom

Fabulous location and staff that couldn't be faulted. Every request was responded to timely and efficiently and seemingly with a genuine desire to provide good service on their part.

Paul United Kingdom

In the current circumstance the breakfast was delicious. The food available in the lounge was much better than expected. It wasn't too busy either so you weren't bumping into people.

Jane United Kingdom

Brilliant dinner in a really elegant restaurant. Quality and selection of food outstanding. Breakfast was to the same standard. Room extremely comfortable, particularly enjoyed the wonderful bed and soft towels! All the staff were outstanding. EVERY one of them greeted us politely and the waiting staff were professional and attentive without being intrusive

Robert United Kingdom

Excellent service and hospitality, messaged the hotel to inform them that it was our anniversary and we were given a card and an upgrade.which was a lovely touch.

Mark United Kingdom

Superb service and friendliness of staff from front door to housekeeping. Smiles and greetings from all. Wonderful elegant and relaxing hotel.
