A beautiful location and a passable stay.
Pros:

The Hotel has one of the most spectacular locations. Unfortunately it simply doesn't match that with the level of 'finish' you would expect for the price charged & it's superb views.

Cons:

The rooms are dated and need refreshing as does a good deal of the interior of the Hotel.

Location, location, location!
Pros:

With a location like this, you don't need anything else really. That said, saff were brilliant, very friendly without being false, nothing worse than being gushed over unnecessarily!
Breakfast was fab, try the porridge please!
Rooms were large, clean, smart and basic.

Cons:

An extra night would have made the trip better so next time I must book 3 not 2 nights.

Heights Hotel reviews
Pros:

The stunning views

Cons:

Room was very small for the price, it was far to hot , even when we turned off the heating there are hot water pipes running all around the room , they did turn the heating system off but at 5am it came back on making noises for a good 30 mins ,
Nice staff , breakfast was ok, but rooms are a bit dated

Highly recommended
Pros:

Location, Location and the Location. The views from the restaurant are - I would suggest - the best to be had in the UK and arguably in the world particularly when comparing the accommodation costs of well known worldwide panoramic views
Special commendation to all of the staff I interacted with - positive, happy and chatty .
There are too many excellent hotel characteristics.
The wide corridors and open, free flowing guest areas with excellent acoustic qualities - lends itself positively to the Neurodivergent community (I have AuDHD and PTSD. ).
Great to see the use of a talking and automated robot serving food and drinks in the cafe.
I commendation the venue for its suitability as a conference centre. Plenty of parking spaces.

Cons:

One must bear in mind that this is not a 5 star venue. The bedrooms fulflsl it's obligation to provide comfortable beds and rooms in a clean and utilitarian manner.
I had to complain to our restaurant waitress that she was far too happy..
I would like to see those tables that are being used for the evening restaurant purposes to each have a white tablecloth and a candle. Yes, a candle even in the summer! Doing so represents the status of the partaking of a main restaurant course of food rather than the Bistro elements.
I would suggest the use of an anti reflective film on the panoramic restaurant windows or the angling of the bar lighting to allow residents to better see the fabulous sea and bay views.

It was a good base reminded us of a Primier Inn without the prices
Pros:

Beautiful location, exceptional views from the restaurant,friendly helpful staff
Unfortunately we had my sisters funeral so we were a day late but they wouldn’t let us stay the Saturday unless we paid extra.

Cons:

View from our room was rubbish-car park.
No charging points or sockets by the beds ,
