Pick, May 2025
Pros (+) The staff and facilities of the hotel and spa were amazing, very friendly. Helped with luggage, kept the room made up every day.
Cons (-) The evening restaurant was a bit of a letdown. The staff were not as friendly as the hotel staff and the food wasn't the best in the area, but it was the most expensive.

Rebecca, May 2025
Pros (+) Beautiful and glamorous, ideally situated on the Coast Path (if, like me, you are walking the route) in lovely private gardens. There is everything you’d want - swimming pool, spa, cinema, bar… The staff were great - the lady on reception was so helpful.
Cons (-) You’ve got to understand that this is an expensive hotel - my room had no sea view and a little bit of noise from the air conditioning at the back. But I chose that and wanted the location and pool! Oh, and no breakfast. This cost £25 but was worth paying for! So bear that in mind and balance it all up.

Anne, May 2025
Pros (+) A beautiful hotel with wonderful views. Very comfortable.
Cons (-) Didn't sleep well due to loud extractor fan outside window. View of flat roof from our room not great but this would not put us off from staying again. Would ask for a sea view next time!!! Just stayed for one night but would have requested a move if any longer.

Alisdair, May 2025
Pros (+) This is a very classy hotel for the price you pay. Staff are extremely welcoming on arrival, the rooms are modern and clean, the spa facilities are great and the building is very well maintained and classically decorated (almost has a 1920’s theme - very well executed) and gives the place a cool vibe!
Cons (-) Literally the only thing we could even mildly identify as a complaint was the lack of herbal teas in the room (partner is vegan) but I’m sure they would have supplied oat milk or similar if asked. They had a great range of vegan foods in the restaurant. Yes, that’s right, if that’s all we can complain about, it’s got to be pretty damn good right?
