It is alright. Very tired in places, and generally clean but not immaculate. The pool was quite dirty. The staff were all absolutely wonderful, but we found the locals who have gym/pool memberships there were quite snobby and rude. Our room had a balcony that couldn't be used, there was a bar along the slider to stop us opening the door - possibly because we didn't pay for a room with a balcony, but at that stage it just seems petty to put us in one and block entry to it.

Lovely room with a balcony with excellent views over the bay. The bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast had a good variety and the hot buffet was hot. The reception staff were always so helpful. Extra water readily available. Had a lovely stay Would have liked a table on our balcony. There was no chalk in snooker room. Shame the outdoor not open.

Maintaining a traditional high quality hotel supported by great staff. Lots of areas to explore and relax. Fantastic snippets of a proud history and insights to a bygone era while sufficiently modern to provide the comforts and facilities expected in a modern hotel. Great views and gardens and part of the coastal path. Spa facilities were good and the pool was heated and a great place to relax in.

The property is stunning. It does need work but you can overlook that when you see the stunning views. We had an issue with our room. Reception Roshanne resolved our issue which was amazing customer service we were upgraded to a suite with a sea view and the views were amazing. We were very lucky. Would definitely go back it has so much charm. The walk into the Harbour wasn’t too far
