Basically you get what you pay for. Rooms are clean but very old fashioned, quite small and slightly tatty, There are a few that have been updated but not many. On the plus side the food is really nice, plenty of hot water for showers/baths and the staff are very friendly and very helpful. Great location for walkers with easy... More

Misunderstanding about car parking on arrival gave very poor first impression. I half expected to meet Basil Fawlty!! Others have said how sad the building and garden are, especially if you see the photos taken in the 1920's when the place was in its prime. Our room (18) though, was fine, with comfortable beds and good ensuite facilities. We were... More

I read the Trip Advisor reviews for Valley Of Rocks before going to stay there - and I had some doubts about my visit there. The worst first. I agree that the fabric of the hotel could do with a makeover; it has a tendency towards being dark and 'dingey' in the reception and lounge areas. My single room (no.... More

I have to agree with other reviews that this hotel needs a huge amount of money spending on it to bring it up to an adequate standard. Positives- the waiting staff were friendly and efficient. Our waitress, Hari, always had a smile and was highly efficient - top marks. Food was good enough considering the price of the break. Towels... More

Have just enjoyed a super mid-week stay at this beautiful hotel. Lovely room (a recent refurb) with mesmerising views of the bay through floor to ceiling windows. Crisp, white cotton bedding, controllable heating and gallons of hot water day and night. Excellent food and evening entertainment (appreciated even by young teenager who was made to feel welcome and included). But... More

My single room was small and narrow; the heating was off much of the time, and the big bathroom was freezing cold due to a constant cold wind blowing through and no radiator in it. I had the best TV reception (Freeview) I've had in a hotel for a long time. The food and service was good, and the hotel... More

Went with friends for the Easter break. My room was warm but had no more than 15" to squeeze through at the foot of the bed,which would have been very difficult for the more mature guest.The decor was tired but our friends room was O K. The rest of the hotel was shabby with an unpleasant musky smell in the... More

Spent Easter weekend here on Shearings coach holiday. We had room 80 which is a superior sea view and well worth paying the supplement for. The room was well heated although the bathroom was a little on the cool side as it still as the old window. Whilst the dining room and lounge were rather cool and we needed to... More
