Friendly hotel but extra charges seemed excessive.

The hotel is a beautiful Victorian building but it s looking very tired on the outside. Gardens are lovely. There were no toiletries left in our room and an empty dusty room scenter was left in the bathroom even though I placed it on the bin. The floorboards in the room above creaked so much we were awake from 5am onwards with the residents of the room walking around. The hotel did offer to move us but we were on our last day/night. There was a stale smell in some corridors in the ground floor and wet carpet in one area being dehumidified. The spa was lovely and we made use of this. The outside carpark on site is charged for, which as a paying guest I found odd. We also paid to bring our dog and were then told we had to have specific rooms with dogs so a further charge per night was made. This potentially added £40 a night just to bring our dog. Breakfast at £15 a head also felt expensive. The hotel is well located and all the staff we met were friendly and helpful.

A beautiful, if faded hotel, downstairs area impressive. Bedrooms at back small and well past their prime. View from bar area stunning, sunset out of this world! Customer service in bar needs improvement, food expensive for what is served.

Cosy Double room was clean though not totally spotless. Comfy bed. Great sea view. Reasonable price, comparable to smaller hotels. Good health spa with saunas, indoor pool (outdoor pool was closed), a good steam room, and a small spa pool - the spa pool could do with updating to contemporary style. Reasonably priced hotel bar, slightly cheaper than the local bars. A major highlight of the room was the complimentary real coffee, teas and two bottles of fresh mineral water, renewed every day. Nice bath, good mattress. The outside of the hotel was slightly grubby although the gardens were well kept. Parking was expensive at a GBP 10/day surcharge, and we had trouble getting Reception to lift the barrier on departure, probably because they were busy. Overall we enjoyed our stay a lot, it felt like a mostly luxurious holiday at a very reasonable price. Final note - be sure to get the rear garden door combination from Reception before going out!

Beautiful room and balcony.

Room was beautiful. The balcony was amazing. The only thing I noticed was a very strong unpleasant smell in the wardrobes of the room.
