    Bar closed till 5.30 so no drinks to be had closed at 10,ridiculous for a hotel ,very short breakfast time 8 till 8.30 so mad morning rush no time to get up and turn around needs to be at least 8 till 9.30 I understand it was out of season but all guests need the same treatment not just high season and when I pay for a sea view I don't expect to have to strain to see it very poor veiw

    Staff were very good,, room was pleasantly warm and comfortable ,good shower

    the room was very hot when we arrived abit uncomfortable as we cudnt turn the radiators down and the mini fridge didn't work as we brought drink 😞 and the side bed draws were still sticky of previous spilt drinks but apart from that it was a pleasure stopping there 👍

    Our room was very spacious with plenty facilities and harbour facing the bar is very cosy and the bar staff were very pleasant 😊

    The room we stayed in was very hot, too hot, We had to complain to the staff, and was told that the heating goes off at ten, but later was told it was twelve o'clock, We even had to put a fan on to cool us down, This made it very hard to get to sleep, Which was a shame as we really liked the hotel,

    Hotel was very pleasing to the eye, and very clean, everything and more to what we expected, With perfect location,

    Breakfast was excellent, and there was plenty of choice, and it was always hot. The evening meal was awful on 2 of the nights. None of it was too our taste the soup was fine, and the puddings were good but the main meal was poor to say the least. Our room was clean but was cold most of the time, as it is winter the heating should be on all day.

    The entrance was beautiful, and the Christmas decorations were magnificent. Entertainment was good and the walk through to the ballroom was lovely along with the ballroom.

    Obviously it is an historic hotel, that is expensive to run and maintain, therefore the bedrooms are dated and tired. The spare pillows in the wardrobe did not have pillow cases on them and were very stained. The windows did not look like they had been washed in years.
