front of house and public rooms were excellent. We were on 4th floor where refurbishment has not yet been done.Room was small. rotten windows not shutting properly and needs redecoration. There was no housekeeping at all for the 3 days of our stay. The bin was not emptied no clean towels. The comfort tray not refilled. It was not reported at time as we daily expected it to be done. disappointed as a hotel of this quality and reputation did not live up to its status.

Shanty festival

A traditional upmarket British seaside hotel which has clearly seen better days in its past, but appears to be attempting to get them back. Property shows signs of being tired in places, bedrooms are 3 star in particular, but the staff were exceptional and clearly well trained. An excellent venue from which to enjoy the town's Shanty Festival.

Sea shanty festival

Lovely stay for the sea shanty festival. The only annoyance was lack of room service and the long queues to get a drink. The first time that the festival had been hosted here so guessing they underestimated how busy they would be! Great staff. Castle beach just opposite is lovely for a swim

Beautiful old building which has been partially renovated. The single room I had was functional but I look forward to hopefully having one which has been “done up” on my next visit. Great location. Restaurant, bar and Reception stand I dealt with were outstanding. Service excellent. Friendly and extremely helpful.

Overall, a fabulous stay. I was taking part in a 2 day sport event nearby. Gorgeous location and such a charming building. Check in welcome was delightful and I was given an upgrade to a suite which was huge with fabulous sea views and very OTT fairytale furniture- I felt like Belle in beauty and the beast! I used the pool which was lovely and quiet, the hot tub hasn’t worked for some time and the sauna and changing rooms are tired. But I was grateful for the facilities. My issue was that there was a function that evening with a live band followed by dj and j was directly above. The music was so loud I couldn’t watch the tv, let alone try to sleep. The band were fabulous and had I not been desperate for sleep I would have tried to join the function! But it really did prevent the restful evening I needed. I did call the night porter who let me know the music would finish at 11:30, which it did shortly after, but it meant I got very little sleep and was up and away early the next day. Service at breakfast was fabulous and check out experience was good, with the receptionist apologising for the noise . I would definitely return, but would check for functions and room location.

When we arrived and were shown to our room it was very disappointing. It was nothing like the photos on the website, very tired, stained furniture. We paid extra for a sea view but the window was chest height so although there was a view you had to be standing up to appreciate it. The windows barely opened as there was a bunk bed built in to the corner of the room level with the window sill so would be a safety issue but still it was boiling in there. Very old furniture, very old small tv. We had booked for 8 nights and my heart sank. I went straight to reception and they were fantastic. Gave us a voucher for some drinks in the bar and promised to move us the following day, which they did. Breakfast was an experience. You wait to be seated then there’s the longest wait for coffee, tea and whatever you’ve ordered, after waiting for someone to take your order in the first place. On the first morning, the continental breakfast consisted. of 2 croissants and some pieces of cheese and some ham. The juice had run out altogether! Very unsatisfactory in this day and age and especially for £200 per night! The carpets in the corridors are worn. The pool area is not particularly inviting, quite dark and not smart at all. The saving grace to this hotel is the fantastic lady on reception. She greeted us every day with a smile and a chat. Offered information in the local area, she herself is Ukrainian. We deliberately missed breakfast on 3 occasions and had breakfast elsewhere.
