Room was lovely and bed was clean, furniture needed updating or deep cleaning, stains on it and dust build up. Didn't eat there, so cant comment on the food. The hotel does need an imput of cash spending on it, it is looking very tired.

Lovely hotel for a short break

Hotel has lovely old fashioned charm. Our room on the second floor was massive and had 6 large windows with lovely views over the gardens. Short stroll into the town or down to the seafront. We were led to believe that our breakfast was included when booking with Hotels.com but were informed this was not the case and had to pay again £50 for two for 2 days. It was worth it though as you could have whatever you wanted and it was freshly cooked and very tasty. I am a coeliac and they catered for Gluten Free without a problem. Staff were very helpful and friendly, couldnt fault them

Post lockdown break

Room was excellent and very comfortable it's a pity that following the refurbishments the edges of the carpets near the skirting were dirty and despite only being open a couple of weeks I dropped a set of keys and going down to floor level found a discarded plastic toothpick. Service was minimum, obviously running on a shoe string post lockdown. Breakfast was good but no dinner service available. Public areas need brightening up. Signing my paid for bill I noticed it was £29 less than I actually paid you which was dissapointing.
