Stayed for a long weekend having done a bit research on the local hotels (mainly from this site). Really mixed experience; I booked directly with them as it seems booking thorugh Lastminute means you end up in a room with a street view not sea view. Telephone booking was superb - the lady was very friendly. She remembered my call... more

We had a 3 day conference and found the hotel met all of our needs efficeintly and professionaly. I had the benefit of an East facing room so got a view of the pier and beach with a balcony. more

Modern refurbishment but still retaining a Victorian elegance. We had a pleasant sea view room. The staff were very friendly and professional, they made us feel special. (The fact it was our wedding anniversary might have helped!!) The evening meals were superb. The menu changes each day. I hope they don't change the chefs!! The breakfast was excellant.

The hotel was virtually empty between Christmas and New Year's. Instead of giving us a sea view room, however, we were given a dingy... more

I stayed for one night and had a great stay. The hotel public areas are very smart and much better than many 4 star hotels I have stayed in. The receptionist was very friendly and polite and I was checked in within a few minutes. My room was small but spotlessly clean and the bathroom was very smart and modern.... more

have stayed before but the hotel has had a complete makeover. It is now beautiful and very comfortable. Room 120 had a sea view and was very large. Staff a credit more

We booked last minute as we were a little nervous going away for the first time with our young baby. The hotel were excellent at accommodating for us, and we arrived to find a nice clean cot and fridge had been put in the room which was handy for baby milk. Standard Double rooms are very clean and surprisingly spacious... more
