Faint glimpses of grander times
It is a lovely period hotel that is in much need of repair and investment. It is very dated and looks derelict in places although it does seem there are some works undergoing on one wing. Staff however are very warm and friendly and the location is out of this world, reminder of times when this was a place to be and a real high end hang out for locals and tourists alike.

The location is really nice it’s a shame the hotel is falling apart. The rooms are old and battered, TV didn’t work, no heating, shower leaks onto the floor and woodlice in the room. Not what was advertised whatsoever

The staff was amazing and friendly and that's what makes it so difficult to rate this property. The building itself is old and in bad need of repair, carpets, walls, windows and coverings all stained or broken. The breakfast was very good. So staff a 10 but building a 3. Please save this building - it could really be something!

About to be refurbished and desperately needs it. Room was very dated and not worth the money we paid but was clean. Staff were superb & very friendly. Breakfast was good selection but cold. Very dog friendly and everyone made our dog welcome. This will be a gem of a hotel when refurbishment completed. It’s in an excellent location on the seafront
