Thinking it's put me off one night stays.
Pros:

Room was good beds fine good nights sleep.
Bar was ok

Cons:

270 for 2 people for one night way over priced.
Food in the restaurant was awful, a steak you could hardly chew and arrived with some odd stuff on the plate like some sort of tomato puree.

The chicken dish with mash the mash had to be sent back as it was cold then a bone in the chicken.

Breakfast wasn't much better cold sausages cold potato bread.

Over all not worth 360 pounds yes you guest it 90 for dinner.

Would not recommend.

Magnificent and relaxing views. Great staff!
Pros:

The view from the first floor Junior Suite was magnificent. We were very lucky with the weather and thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the very comfortable recliners and relaxing whilst admiring the views. Dinner and breakfast were excellent.

Cons:

The smell of cooking in the corridor outside our room. Thankfully not a whiff inside the room.

Exceptional hotel. Stunning position. Fantastic rooms and food.
Pros:

Everything was perfect! We arrived early and enjoyed lunch at a window table with exceptionally wide sea views. Our room was ready early as requested and exceeded expectations. Beds were very comfortable and I slept really well. Quiet room. No noise whatsoever. Nice touches such as a teapot as well as coffee machine, hot chocolate and crisps and biscuits! Bathroom extras were plentiful including bath salts and a face cloth which is rare these days! We also had dinner and breakfast which were excellent .

Cons:

Everything was perfect!
