Great property, amazing location as it is right at the beach. There is parking onsite, however, it gets full quickly. That said, there is ample parking around the hotel. The breakfast was okay, not great. The hotel is dog friendly and they had kept treats and bed for the dog in the room. Only downside is that the sea facing rooms dont have an aircon and in 26C heat, that was something which was needed.

It’s a historical building - lots of character and grand looking! Close to the beach and seven sister cliffs. Some staff were super helpful, others were not. The building is old and some areas need work (ie. pool had missing tiles on the steps. Ceiling is peeling in areas.) it’s old but still nice. The doormen were all wonderful and very helpful!

I liked the parking guy He was very helpful and saved us a parking space instead of us parking on the street. At breakfast however we were unimpressed. The front of house was surly and unwelcoming and the junior staff not empowered to make decisions themselves as when we asked to be moved away from the dirty dishes stand it was a case of "I will have to ask my supervisor first' so we left. The room was three quarters empty.

We had a great 1-night stay in March 2025. The service from the staff was impeccable and we were made to feel very welcome. The room was clean and tidy, and functional with a very large bathroom. The included amenities (indoor pool, steam room, jacuzzi) and complimentary breakfast was outstanding. We would definitely stay again.

Stayed here with wider family, the staff are welcoming and being able to use the facilities before check in time is really helpful when the party is travelling from different places. The rooms were clean and the lounge area was spacious with a good menu. Breakfast food was good quality but service was slow and limited ‘help yourself’ item options (possibly it was busy and there was a lack of restocking). Overall we would stay again.
