Très bien
Pros:

Chambres très spacieuses et confortables, bien décorées, très propres. Vue sur mer avec petit balcon, très agréable. Belles salles de bain, belles prestations. Le bâtiment de l’hôtel est moderne et fonctionnel, il manque sans doute un peu du charme British mais le personnel, très agréable, et le confort des chambres compense largement. Grand parking gratuit. Plage à proximité immédiate (idéale en basse saison, à voir si pas trop de monde en haute saison?).

Cons:

Bar et restaurant en terrasse avec vue sur la mer: l’emplacement idéal ! mais beaucoup, beaucoup d’attente pour le resto. Le personnel a gentiment offert les boissons pour compenser. A part ca, l’emplacement pour boire un verre est très agréable.

Very good overall, just short of perfect, but would definitely recommend.
Pros:

It was what I expected. Friendly staff, great location and facilities.

Cons:

Unfortunately there was a drain problem which meant the bathroom was almost a no go area due to the smell.
Restaurant was promising, but the portions were rather mean. The quality and presentation though was very good and the staff proactive on an issue raised.

Brilliant stay enjoyed drinks, dinner, bed and breakfast.
Pros:

Decor very stylish modern but homely, very comfortable mattress and pillows generous sized rooms and bathroom, stunning sun terrance great views! Breakfast delicious. We also had dinner and drinks great food! Nice wine also. Staff friendly.

Cons:

It’s not that I didn’t like it as I do love whispering angel but this being the cheapest rose wine at £55 per bottle or £13 medium glass shame there’s not something a little less.

Would expect more for the price
Pros:

This hotel was fine. Room was comfortable.

Cons:

It was needlessly expensive. At £255 a night I would expect more facilities like at least a swimming pool. The restaurant also was very expensive with no option for just a bar meal if wanted. It was the only place to stay on our walk around the coastal path. I wouldn't stay there again.

Pros:

Breakfast served overlooking freshwater bay and staff were very attentive

Cons:

The dinner in the Rock restaurant was superb but let down by the sommelier! Whilst I appreciate having someone available to help and advise with wines might be useful our dinning experience was let down in this regard. The wine we had ordered (Albarinho) was left on a tray on the bar getting warm, whilst the sommelier decide to deliver the red wine next to it to another table. Our Albarinho sat on the bar getting warmer…..
When the sommelier returned and delivered us our wine, we had waited 15 minutes! He opened the wine with difficulty, poured us a little in our glass and then left the bottle on the table and walked away, I had to stop him to ask for a wine cooler.
The waiters/waitresses could have brought the wine directly to us as they knew what they were doing and made the experience better for all!.
Is this extra theatrical joker necessary or can the ‘rock restaurant’ encourage their waiting staff

Fantastic holiday at the Albion - hotel, staff, views, food all outstanding!
Pros:

What an amazing hotel - partner and I agreed it was probably the best hotel we’ve stayed at together.
Staff were fantastic and nothing too much trouble.
Facilities exceptionally clean & done up to a high standard.
Amazing view from room & balcony - well worth the upgrade to fall asleep to the sound of waves!

Cons:

Wish we could’ve stayed longer.
