The room was very clean and modern. Great sea view. The hotel is a grand old lady and deserves to be maintained. The interior of the bar and dining rooms is amazing. Wooden panelling and chandeliers you just wouldnt see in a new build.

Stayed 2 nights room only. Room wasn't serviced. You have a card to display on door handle to request that room is made up. This wasn't explained at check-in and I only saw 1 room actually do this. I had to ask for replacement coffee. £15.00 per dog per night is excessive. Its the same cleaning. My dogs are small
