Pros:

Super helpful Reception staff especially as we had to alter our arrival date at short notice. Speedy check in and check out. Ground floor room which was really helpful as we were travelling with our dog.
Comfy bed and quiet room.
Grand building surrounded by fascinating properties and lots of history, plus the hotel is close to a nice wander down to the beach through a Victorian terraced garden, it had a Mediterranean feel.

Cons:

Food was ok, but limited choices as we don't eat meat.

Pros:

Recently refurbished interior areas - so lovely bars, reception, restaurant area. A handful of parking spaces on site but with quite a lot of free parking along the side road. 2 minute walk from the cliff top and sea view. Room was very comfortable, nice and dark with double curtains. Beautifully refurbished shower room. Very comfortable bed.

Cons:

We had 3 showers in our 2 night stay. Shower never got truly hot. But very warm. So a minor niggle.

The staff were kind and polite but after a night of little sleep and then having to move rooms after a long day it was j
Pros:

The staff were friendly and very helpful

Cons:

The initial room I had was not suitable due to the bed and I had an awful nights sleep. This meant I had to move rooms which was a pain but did resolve the issue.
