We stayed one night in this hotel to celebrate my parents diamond wedding anniversary. What a truly wonderful experience. We had a room with a Seaview., spotlessly clean and very spacious. Few little extras like chocolates. Bed was very comfy. The service in the hotel from all members of staff was impeccable . We felt nothing was too much trouble. We had a wonderful evening meal as a large group and breakfast again as a large group. The quality of food and presentation was outstanding. We were blessed with wonderful weather over the weekend and spent a lot of the time sat out on the terrace on the Esplanade. Again drinks and snack service here was attentive. I accept the price point was on the higher side however I felt the stay was very much value for money. Thank you to all the staff for making my parents special celebration very special.

A well-positioned hotel on the sea front. The rooms are well presented and comfortable and the hotel restaurant has a good range of well cooked food. The staff are helpful and friendly and the level of service is excellent. We have visited this hotel over a number of years and it never fails to impress.

The service was impeccable and the food good. The view outstanding! The Hotel is on the esplanade with the beach opposite; fell asleep to the sound of the waves. The interior of the hotel is regency style in keeping with the property but may feel 'fuddy-duddy' to some. If staying during the weekend, I recommend arranging parking through the hotel at £10 per night as all spaces in the town were full. However our stay was spoilt by the owner of the hotel, who was shouting and swearing at staff, (presumably), behind the scenes during breakfast in the dining room. Also whilst I was in reception, the owner was complaining about a member of staff to another staff member. You could see that the front of house staff were embarrassed by the behaviour, I felt sorry for them. Not what you expect from a historical four star hotel!

In December 2022 we had afternoon tea and the service was impeccable and so was the afternoon tea. We felt like royalty, the service was caring and attentive. The sandwiches were of a good size and the chocolate sponge and raspberry topped sponge looked very impressive and tasted good too. When the afternoon tea was brought out, it is supposed to look special. What went wrong this time? We sat at the same table with the gorgeous view this week, but the food and the service were nowhere near as good. When the afternoon tea was brought out, we thought, is this it? The sandwiches were smaller, the tiny sponges were only discernible by taste and the scones and cream portion was smaller. Service was very poor. My partner had to chase for another cup of tea (no pot!) and no-one asked if we had enjoyed our meal including the waiter who took our payment. £50! This was in no way worth it! Someone is making a good profit! We heard a guy schmoozing with those staying in the hotel, who we presumed may be the owner. He didn't bother with us at all. Overall, very disappointing.

We have just had a three night stay to celebrate my wife's birthday and it was a great experience and treat. A great welcome, attentive and professional staff without exception, and good food to add to the occasion. The room, overlooking the sea on the second floor was well presented and everything provided to make it a truly memerable stay. Thank you Issam and all your lovely staff.

We stayed for three nights during which time we had the very best of service, the staff are all very professional whilst still creating a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. We enjoyed the breakfasts very much and the dinner menu offered a good choice, all cooked and presented perfectly. Our room,on the first floor, had a great sea view, bathroom was of a high standard finish,as was the rest of the hotel.All in all, a very relaxing stay and we look forward to visiting again.
