Beautiful and peaceful
Pros:

Wonderful location, gorgeous coastal views, and the private parking was a huge plus. The hotel itself is a beautiful, historic building. Room was clean and staff were friendly .

Cons:

The property is beautiful no doubt, but the rooms would benefit greatly from a refresh, as some of the furniture and cushions showed noticeable wear and tear. Because we visited during a hot summer spell, the room felt quite warm and stuffy. A small desk fan was available, but it wasn’t cool enough.

A great 2 days away!
Pros:

The location of the hotel was excellent

Cons:

Generally everything was great but there was no aircon in the room and also no fans and it was an exceptionally hot few days so it was hard to sleep but one thing to comment on was the female staff in the bars and restaurant were not particularly friendly however the male staff appeared a lot more amenable. Food was very good too

Great location, Tired hotel.
Pros:

Location and outside of hotel was very nice and close to the town but not too close.

Cons:

Room was tired and dusty, really needs a refurbishment all round to modernise the rooms. The kettle had a strange yellowing mark across the top which wiped off, and the hair dryer was yellow through age.

Would not recommend in any month that might be warmer...as most rooms do not have AC.
Pros:

Not much. The parking was good for cars and no extra charge.

Cons:

NO air conditioning in room or hotel restaurant or public areas!! It was horribly hot and the staff didn't have enough fans for everyone in rooms. I had to wait a full day for a fan. Windows didn't open more than 4 inches. No one seemed to take a sense of urgency given the high heat and never put fans into the restaurant areas. NOT a four star...maybe a 3 as the view from front patio is of the water.

I loved my stay here, I will definitely go back.
Pros:

The location is fantastic, the garden and view are amazing with sea view. The staff were lovely as well. The room was very comfortable, the bathroom towels were excellent quality, a rare thing when you stay away. The breakfast was really good. The starters on evening menu were lovely, the cheese soufflé was really good.

Cons:

The veg with the evening meal, in our opinion, did not go too well. Collection of plates from garden tables was very slow.
