The room we were moved to. Breakfast was good and plenty of it. If you want fried eggs/poached you need to ask. The location was superb if you walked through the gardens out of the bottom gate you were on the seafront. All the staff we spoke to were very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is super dog friendly (so if you don't like dogs don't stay there) so there are dogs everywhere. It is not a modern hotel very oldy worldy

The first room we stayed in was over looking the bins (108) which were emptied at 6 in the morning. Also if the staff are outside smoking you can smell the smoke. Only point I would mention is the shower in both the rooms are very weak.

We had a huge bedroom with balcony and stunning views. The breakfast was excellent. I am gluten free and never stayed in a hotel where I am offered gluten free sausages. They were delicious too. We will definitely go back there.

Slight muck under the products holder in the bath and around the shower gel in the holder. The door on the side of the bath if you were using it as a shower did not stay put which would be dangerous if someone walked into the bathroom and did not see it.

Due to staff shortages there were times when no-one was in the Reception. However when they came they were helpful, friendly and professional. Nicole was excellent when she was on duty. All the waitresses were good even though they were busy and the dishwasher was broken. The room was newly furbished and perfect for our needs. I asked for more coat hangers as there was only one in he wardrobe and requested a rubberised bathmat for the bath. Both items were supplied quickly. The bathroom was good and the shower supplied lovely hot water. The bath probably needed better sealant at the back. The grounds were superb. The swimming pool was perfect, very clean and inviting. I would describe the food as good and adequate. I did not expect Cordon Bleu food at a 3 star hotel! My dog came with me and was spoilt by guests as well as hotel staff. The beach was a little walk away.

It was a long walk and then stairs to our room. A bit tricky for older people with luggage and a dog. No complaints otherwise.

Lovely hotel, fabulous location and grounds. We stayed in a family room, 203 and it was perfect, big room with lovely views. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Very doggie friendly, our dog loved it. Hotel supplied dogbed and bowls on request. Breakfast was excellent and we ate in the restaurant for 3 nights and food was very good and reasonably priced. Location is great, 5 minute walk to beach through the gardens and similar to train station. Pool was excellent, good showers there too, we swam twice a day, was usually quiet. It is a short walk from the hotel. Hotel was lovely and warm. Looking forward to returning in the spring!

Perfect location in lovely grounds and is dog friendly. The staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the perfect weather!

The property is tired and the decor and furniture needs updating. The pool is a bonus, as it was not in use during our last visit. The breakfast is nice but the staff are slow at replacing buffet items, so there tends to be a wait for items. The tables in the bar and the outside area were often left with dirty items and not cleared promptly. It all feels a bit disorganised. The rooms are looking tatty and the bathrooms need a face lift. There is no air con in the rooms which did get very warm in the hot weather.

Great location. Lovely gardens with traffic free walk to the beach and town. Interesting building definitely not typically boxy modern hotel but a stylish property that has been well preserved. The swimming pool is an excellent asset and beautifully appointed. The staff were wonderful, so impressed with the young lady who welcomed us on the Sunday afternoon and the friendly gardener who was a mine of local information. excellent buffet breakfast but the choice of meals for half board rather limited.

There is a small amount of finish missing: our room was a little smaller than the photo suggested but had all the furnishings and equipment it should. However, the tv took up the whole of the dressing table top that wasn’t required by the kettle- a ceiling/ wall mounted swivel bracket would sort this out. Simple solutions to overcome a problem that in the event of bad weather would have been important. The mattress had rather apparent springs and near end of viable life but these are minor points to be helpful.

The grounds of the hotel were spectacular, a real joy to walk round. Staff were friendly and accommodating, especially the FOH and the waitresses and waiters. Our room, which was a Club family room was clean and spacious, and we had a lovely sea and garden view from our balcony. We enjoyed the food in the restaurant, but the bonus that really made the holiday, was that it was dog friendly, and our little pooch could dine with us as well. Also kids loved the swimming pool, and great proximity to the beach and town. Will definitely stay again.

This isn't a biggy and whilst we enjoyed the food, smaller portions would be great as there was some wastage, and we are not fans on BBQ sauce flavour, and there were quite a few options with this flavour, but like I said it's no deal breaker.

Great self serve breakfast...loads choices. Hot and cold Room 2 had a bath and over shower Staff pleasant. Grand feeling to hotel. Very clean linen and bath towels. Parking brilliant..brand new car so needed to ensure safe. Lovely balcony type gardens with umbrellas Lovely gardens to walk through down to town/sea front with a key coded gate. Made going out interesting.

No biscuits in room or bottled water as complimentary. No fans We were on ground floor so could not open windows at night and were there in heatwave. Desk to reception very high..needs to be lowered as large % elderly guests to see over. Room 2...shower not brilliant but worked. Bathroom bit plain though very roomy. This hotel is in high location on hill so beware that getting to town via gardens or road if your mobility is restricted as walking is steep or on gravel. It would be a bonus to cut some of the tree tops within own grounds to get a far better sea view from the seated area..in another 2 years you may find that sea view disappeared!

My son and I each had a room with a single bed, which was perfectly adequate and great value as breakfast was included in the very reasonable price. The staff were all happy and friendly. The indoor swimming pool looked fantastic although we didn't find time to use it, as we were out walking every day through the splendid garden down to the sea front and into the town. The buffet breakfast had plenty of choice, with tables next to large windows looking over the grounds to the sea.

The cream tea ordered in advance for our arrival could have been better, with a freshly made warm scone instead of a slightly stale one, and the teabags in a pot of tea rather than in our cups, with no jug of hot water to top them up. It was a mismatch with the style of the hotel which suggests old-fashioned quality.

We were upgraded to a big, comfortable family room, with 3 windows and a big balcony overlooking the park, and that was wonderful. The park itself was very well kept, peaceful and beautiful, as was the swimming pool, large, clean and available until late, which is not usual in hotels.

As I said, the bedroom was very good, although an extra table lamp between the beds would have been useful. I would also recommend the use of an extractor in the bathroom. The restaurant instead was a bit of a disappointment, with a very slow service and food the quality of which wasn't always consistent, sometimes good, sometimes very bad (e.g. raw vegetables served a a side dish, a very dry beefburger or frozen ice cream). But the prices were in general good, especially the drinks. And the waiters were kind.
