Charming hotel in a great location, with wonderful views and excellent service.
Pros:

Location was lovely, the staff were very good; very old school and attentive. Room had a lovely view and a balcony.

Cons:

Difficult to think o anything, may be the menu could be a little more varied and flexible (you were obliged to have 3 courses), also it was all a little expensive, but you don't mind paying more for good quality.

Memorable, mainly due to the hotel’s unique location.
Pros:

The meals were good value if a little traditional. The staff were very helpful and there was a nice ‘family’ atmosphere.
Beautiful views from the property.

Cons:

Parking and access were challenging due to the hillside location. Reserved parking spaces on the lower level appeared to be possible but we did not have this opportunity.m

Fabulous location but tired and rundown facilities and room.
Pros:

Great location and helpful staff.

Cons:

Very scruffy common areas. Everything was old and the room was very dated with material worn and ripped on the bed base, very old fashioned bathroom and worn furniture. I expected better for over £200 per night.

Lovely location but small rooms
Pros:

Location is lovely and staff where very nice.

Cons:

The room with sea view was very small and the shower you could barely move in! It is a shame when you paid extra to get the view.

I felt that we didn’t get value for money. There was a vase of dead flowers in the reception area that stank of dirty wa
Pros:

The location

Cons:

It is a very tired and run down hotel.
It needs a complete overhaul to bring it into the 21st century! It’s dated, dark and depressing

Loved the late summer break
Pros:

Fantastic location with an amazing sea view. Would definitely take up the residents evening meal offer which was £22per person per night for up to four courses and the quality was exceptional. Breakfast was also very good and its nice to have a really good hot buffet selection as well as cooked to order if you prefer

Cons:

The final few miles to Hope Cove is an absolute nightmare with very narrow roads admitted I was in a medium SUV but I could see from just the few days that we were in the area the amount of damaged and scraped cars so not just limited to Hope Cove. Of course this isn't the hotels problem but I think on balance this would put me off a return visit

Beautiful property and incredible staff
Pros:

We only stayed for one night, but had such a lovely time. We were in the newer extension and I was surprised at how lovely and large the room was. The beachfront views are spectacular! The staff were so kind and helpful, and made a fuss of my daughter who turned 11 while we were there. They left a decorative fruit platter in our room wishing her happy birthday, and placed little gold stars on our table for dinner and breakfast. It's a really wonderful property with incredible staff and we hope to return.

Cons:

The menu is potentially a little outdated, and it would be lovely to have a coffee machine when breakfast is served in the restaurant.
