Clean room polite staff, efficient staff and a decidedly average full English
Cons:

The breakfast served was really quite poor. And a much lesser standard than fellow guests had experienced previously.

Lovely stay in a gorgeous property.
Pros:

Room was exceptional, especially the gorgeous bath and glorious view. Food in the evening was also very tasty and staff throughout were helpful. Would certainly visit again in the future as well as spend more time exploring the local area.

Cons:

Nothing worth mentioning that could be improved.

A nice break which could have been exceptional!
Pros:

Position and historical property. Lovely to have a sea view… despite tiny room. Staff were friendly (but overworked!)

Cons:

Shower was broken. (We reported it but it was not repaired during our 3 night stay) Room was tiny. Staff were overworked and didn’t even take our order for breakfast on the third day… also toast which we ordered was not delivered. Didn’t like the black sun shades on tables as they made the place look like an ordinary pub ( this place used to have class as ‘Westover Hall’ )
