We booked two rooms for my family of 6. Both rooms were comfy and clean. Breakfast was tasty and my kids enjoyed it too. Friendly and helpful reception staff.
We stayed as we were going th o the cliffs pavillion theatre to see a show the hotel is a 2 minute walk.
We had dinner before the performance food was excellent, service was quick and the staff were very engaging.
Bar was open late so we also had a fee drinks after the performance.
Breakfast the following morning again food was excellant and staff were helpful amd efficient.

Old fashioned hotel- but really LOVELY, posh looking room, amazing hot tub style bath (executive suite), supplied biscuits, hot drinks in room. Soft towels, toiletries, crisp fresh linen, lovely sea views. Lift is small/ lots of random steps/ slopes, but just had the best time. If parking you MUST buy a permit online- it’s £5/6 per day, but can park literally outside. Will 100% stay many more times

Rooms & corridors were a little tired. Curtains were filthy. There was a general drainy smell in the bathroom. Bathroom fans too noisy. Soundproofing poor from neighbouring rooms.
Great views out to sea. Handy for cliffs pavilion.

The property was adequate for our purposes. I think they could have a simpler method for paying for car parking as you had to download an app and several customers had problems with this method and a member of staff had to sort it out on their own account for us. Breakfast was good.
