Excellent varity of food served at dinner and a very good breakfast in every way. Serving staff could not have been better.
Comfortable bed, Very pleasant leisure club.

Cons:

Cranky lift -needs updating. Bottled water not replaced daily. TV for a caravan not a hotel room. The room was exceptionally hot without any noticeable heating source ? Some decorating needs - peeling wallpaperin dining room - peeling paaint onwindowsills outside dining room.

Una piacevole deviazione
Pros:

Il trattamento è stato buono, il personale disponibile e amichevole, la colazione non l'abbiamo potuta provare perché siamo partiti molto presto. La cena è stata molto buona, ci siamo sentiti a casa.

Cons:

In realtà l'hotel per vacanze al mare, per noi è stato una tappa nel ritorno dalla Cornovaglia, abbiamo visto l'hotel solo per poche ore.

We loved the feeling of an Edwardian family home and excellent service from the conscientious staff
Pros:

The room had been described as at the back of the hotel but actually had a sea view from a side window and pleasant trees outside, so exceeded our expectations. The breakfast was excellent and set us up nicely for the day's walking. The staff were also very helpful in letting us store our next day's lunch in the hotel fridge overnight. We also enjoyed sitting in the garden in the evening.

Cons:

The lighting in the room was a bit gloomy, perhaps, but this was not a major issue for us.

Times up for the Northfield
Pros:

We had a large room, with large ensuite. The evening meal we had was very tasty. Breakfast was OK

Cons:

Times up for the Northfield hotel. It may have a smart website but that is where the good impression ends. There is no quality in this establishment. It requires a total redecoration and interior design make over. We paid £449 for 2 nights B&B. Staffing levels were patchy over our stay. Evening meal is only available from 6.30pm to 8pm and breakfast from 8am to 9.30am.

We made a poor choice when we picked this hotel.
Pros:

We had decided to eat both breakfast and the evening meal there and overall the food was very good. There was plenty of parking spaces which is always a good point. It was close to the beach areas and the main tourist road in town.

Cons:

The room was above the kitchen so we had excess heat. It was not clean with dust even on the kettle as we arrived. We found wood shavings on one of the bedside tables and bits on the floor. Supposedly some of the furniture was to be upgraded and we got a phone call stating it would be done the second day. We removed our clothing back into cases to be prepared. It was not done until our third day. They replaced old pine furniture with old dark wood items. This also reduced the number of drawers to place clothing in and we ended up living mainly from suitcases. To be honest I cannot figure out why they changed it. It looked like they got a job lot from a second hand dealer which ended up making the room look ridiculous with a mixture of styles from pine to dark wood. The room never seemed to be cleaned with bits left on the floor. I decided on a test. I put a small piece of silver wrapping near one of the seats and a square piece of the supplied white coffee packets just under the bedside table. In two days of housekeeping they obviously did not notice it. The sink drained so slowly as to make it impossible to have been cleaned by the staff else they would have had it fixed. Whoever is in charge of the room cleaning is a total failure and staff must be unsupervised. Normally staff tend to straighten sheets and pillows when doing a room but it was obvious that they pulled the duvet straight over the crumpled sheet and the pillows were never touched. One electrical socket was moving on the wall which made it unsafe. I guess after I told the staff I was unhappy about the misinformation about the furniture swap I believed that they really was not concerned with complaints so never bothered after that. We spent most of the time away from the hotel anyway. We will never return and would never dream of recommending this place to anyone. When handing in the key you normally get asked whether you enjoyed your stay. I can guess why they do not bother to do that.
