What I wrote above is enough. However we did enjoy our stay. It was our 51st wedding anniversary
Pros:

Breakfast was good, and plentiful. Staff were brill, friendly and attentive. Entertainment very good and enjoyed the fun.

Cons:

Evening meal was cold but was quickly sorted no problem. Front desk didn't give correct details for the pool. Said there were lockers and needed a pound. No lockers in gents, ladies had them but you didn't need money so the lockers couldn't be locked. Pool area was not good, you can't swim in it as and adult it's too shallow. Celling paint coming off and falling in water and floor. Tiles around inside water line dirty and coping edge tiles broken. Jacuzzi not working. Spoke to the manager he apologized and will look into it. Overall the Doric needs a refurb. The manager has said they have started already.

Pros:

The staff were great and very accommodating nothing was to much.room cleaning wonderful .
Tea tray was not so generous Room we paid for was suite with sea views and jacuzzi bath and shower spacious with seating area. Due to the description being incorrect on arrival as no shower in room and 9 " steps into bathroom Booking.com we had to change rooms and end up with . Double bed in crammed room with bulk beds in the step up part of room with another step in to shower room no where in Booking .com have steps been mention also as there was nothing more ,we had to take room with a shower crammed room which was over top of concert hall and air condition pipes outside window no lovely sea views just red walls dirty windows and large grey pipes. So not happy with Booking .com it also cost us £40 for 2 half steps to get in and out of rooms. So to finish this on day 1 we said the water wasn't staying in the sink nothing done Day 2 shower change while in shower from hot to cold to hot again not a very good experience at all.corridors narrow only room for one person at a time unless all going same way.same as disabled toilet this was along a narrow passage god help anyone that's desperate disabled toilet should be near dinning/bar/ entertainment area.
Hands up for dinning / breakfast staff they have to put up with alot

We would definitely go back staff were lovely.
Pros:

All clean, nice conservatory to enjoy the sun.comfortable seating in bar area.
Having a designated table in the dining room is a good idea.

Cons:

The lifts are very small and are slow. With a limit of 2 people it can cause a long wait. The stairs are quite steep. Not good if you have mobility issues.
