Beautiful location and views. Staff friendly and excellent food
United KingdomThe staff were very attentive, very enthusiastic and always smiling
United KingdomJust lovely. Best hotel I've stayed in whilst on business for some time.
United KingdomThe hotel is set right on the cliff top overlooking the stunning bay! Even on a grey and rainy day it still looked beautiful! I booked only 30 minutes before arriving and was pleasantly surprised to receive an upgrade to a suite with sea view. The room was very comfortable and clean. A little box of chocolates were waiting for me too! I'd highly recommend a stay here!
United KingdomAll meals were lovely. The mussels were out of this world. Breakfast is excellent to set you off for the day and choices were great. The room service was excellent and plenty of choice and the quality was as good as the restaurant.
United Kingdom5 Star hotel from the staff to the facilities. I must visit again socially, as this was an overnight stay for work.
United KingdomThe breakfast served at the hotel was outstanding, and the food catered for all guest's requirements. All of the staff were very attentive to guest's eating in the restaurant and any special needs that they may have.
United KingdomA wonderful hotel the best we've ever stayed in.
United KingdomBreakfast was fantastic, we got upgraded to a sea view which was lovely! Nice treatments from the spa and overall lovely experience, great that you can make use of the facilities before / after checkout!
United KingdomA type of hotel one rarely finds there days. A high standard in every respect, particularly the staff, all of whom were helpful without being too insistent. The restaurant food and service was impeccable.
