What a beautiful hotel. It's lovely to see the historic building been well cared for The service was great and the staff was so helpful. We had breakfast and lunch dinner, and the food was cooked beautifully, and the quality of food was to a high standard 😋. As a full-time carer for my hubby, who is a wheelchair user, the table service at Dinner was lovely it gave me a rest. The only negative feedback is having to pay for disabled parking £10. 00 per night.

I stayed here with my partner for the 2025 air show weekend. It’s a great location on the sea front and our room had gorgeous sea views. If you’re interested to see what it was like to experience luxury at the turn of the century you can see it here. Very dated, of course, but with lots of stunning original features. We parked here for 2 nights, costing £20. The bar was well priced and the room a great size. My only complaints are that our room was situated between 2 chimneys, and on an extremely windy weekend this made for a very noisy bed time! Luckily my partner can sleep through anything and I’d taken earplugs with me. Secondly, the bed was only a double so felt rather cramped after sleeping in a king. Still, no reason to mark down - it was a great stay.

We stayed here for one night. We was amazed by how big the hotel is as a whole, but also the character. I love its location! - away from the hustle and bustle but within walking distance to the piers, tower, lights etc where the magic happens! I slept like a log, the bed was very comfortable and the room had everything you needed. We had breakfast included in the price and it was delightful! We even arrived 2 hours earlier than check in and was able to park in the carpark and sign the paperwork we needed to. This enabled us now to worry about finding parking and meant it was quicker when grabbing our keys. Would definitely go back again!

Charming old hotel with lovely food, good wine, and clean rooms. The vintage decor adds real character, but service was poor—slow check-in, forgotten orders, and key card issues. Also noticed a musty smell in the hallways for our entire stay (3 nights). With better staff attention, it could be great.

It was good, but it could have been much better. The lobby is incredibly cozy, and just as you step into your room you get really disappointed. It was extremely hot, and you couldn’t turn it down – there was only a fan. The view was nothing to brag about, but it was okay. There were holes in the bathroom wall, but manageable. Cleaning was very inconsistent – sometimes they cleaned thoroughly, other times they only made the bed. For example, we even found underwear and an empty beer bottle in the drawers. Despite all that, the food was really good, especially dinner. And the hotel itself is very beautiful, and the staff were very kind. We did have some issues with our key card, but they fixed it quickly. You can get a perfect sea view if you get one of the good rooms. I’m super happy I went, because the food was so good.
