Scarlet Hotel

We’ve been here before but decided to try another short break and wow, we are glad we did. Stunning location with a recent re vamp on the building. Staff incredible. Tried the couples mud massage - haven’t laughed like that in years. Special thanks to Adam at dinner - Exceptional. Look forward to the next break with you

This was our 3rd time at this wonderful hotel. When we last visited 3 years ago, the food had been disappointing compared to our first visit! Apparently there’s a relatively new chef. He/she is doing a fantastic job. We had the taster menu on our first night (our anniversary) and it was wonderful. My husband didn’t like the cuttlefish bolognaise but that was just his own personal choice - I loved it as well as all the other dishes. The gazpacho was probably our favourite, it was divine! The second night of our stay we had the standard menu and chose the Cote de boeuf & it was so good, as was the salad & fries to accompany it. We used the indoor pool and the cliff top hot tub during our stay & both were great. We chose a “just right” room which was perfect with fantastic views of the bay. There is a new (huge) property being built right next to the hotel. We didn’t have any noise impact during our stay but it has blocked out some of the view of the bay. We did notice that despite the hotel’s premium pricing, that a few areas of the property were looking a “little tired” - I’m not sure if any maintenance work is imminent but it does need it in areas. The staff were fabulous as always. Housekeeping were on point - our room was always spotless & the turn-down service is always a lovely touch. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash all provided, as is a powerful hairdryer. It’s a very relaxing place to spend a few days & despite the disappointing weather when we were there, we had a lovely stay.

My girlfriend and I stayed over New Year (and we arranged for some of our friends to be there at the same time). We could not have been better looked after. We are regular visitors and certainly be back. It`s not stuffy or formal like some places but everything is done to the highest standards and the restaurant deserves a Michelin star.

We spent a wonderfully relaxing New Years Eve at the Scarlet and enjoyed a warm welcome for us and our doggo. The beach by the hotel is just a dream for doggos and my husband very much enjoyed the wild pond swimming. Paired wine with the evening meals were a revelation and the food was superb at every meal. Highly recommend and we'll be returning in the Summer months.

Do not hesitate to stay at this wonderful hotel. The location, food and service from the excellent staff made it a very special experience for us. We couldn’t t fault it other than the glass doors on the toilets in the room…who needs that!?

The Scarlet is heaven on earth. Everything is perfect; location, views, rooms, beds, food and staff. It's like a warm, peaceful, comforting full on body and mind embrace. Apart from taking refreshing walks on the incredible beach we never left the hotel.
