    Bathroom was dated and in need of a refurb but was spotlessly clean.

    Hotel was in an ideal location and had amazing views. Although a bit dated, the hotel was spotlessly clean. Staff were really friendly and welcoming and it is very dog friendly.

    Not enough parking spaces for size of hotel. Asked for walk-in shower but never got it also bathroom could do with shelves or shower caddy for accessories, had to put shower gel etc on floor of shower and bathroom was quite small. There was only a bedside lamp on one side of the bed so couldn't read in bed.

    The view over the sea was fantastic

    Some of the features could do with an upgrade. One of the worst showers I’ve seen in a hotel. Found the pillow style far too firm and couldn’t sleep using it.

    All staff members really good. Friendly and helpful. Loved the breakfast as well.

    Parking was problematic. The place In general was tired looking and and could do with some TLC. Considering we paid extra £15 per night for the dog the was no special provision and we were basically shoved in the corner at meal times and the dog wasn’t even offered a bowl of water. There was no in-bedroom information about hotel protocols or local area information. Bedrooms not automatically serviced daily. Eg. Bins no emptied, tea and coffee supplies not replenished.

    The views and location were excellent. The food was brilliant and the staff were lovely.

    The shower was either, hot or cold. The bath mat had mould. Couple of quid should fix that. Shower blocked. Once again, cheap fix. Needs a good vacuuming.

    The building itself. This photo drew me there. I love history. One thing I would note, the hotel didn’t have much history information around the place. Would be nice to have that.

    As above - needs better housekeeping and some TLC

    Room was lovely and so was the view. It wasn't very clean in all areas. The bedding and towels were clean but the carpets in the bedroom were very stained. The carpets in the hole building needed a good clean. Our room needed a good clean behind the beds and bedside cabinets. They were full of dust - noticed when looking for power point to plug in my phone. All very dated and the whole hotel needs some TLC Fantastic old building - could be amazing if cared for and updated. Great views. Comfortable bar and restaurant and great food. We used the bars most evening save driving and lovely views. The staff were amazing - full marks to this young team - excellent customer service

    The extractor fan ,probably from the kitchen, was very noisy in the morning as our room was at the back of the hotel,the floors were very creaky so you could hear the people above and the people below could hear us.There was a pipe running along the wall and you could hear water running down. But the noise died down around 2300 so it wasn't too bad. These things are to be expected in an old hotel.

    I liked the Victorian seaside grand hotel vibe in a beautiful setting. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was large and comfortable and had everything you need in a hotel room.The mattress and pillows were very comfortable. The room was very clean.
