The place feels a bit shabby in parts, especially the swimming pool area, but the staff are awesome and the sea view rooms are worth the upgrade. The place is ideal if you're arriving by train as it's right next door!

This is the place to be if you arrive by train and no better base for the Agatha Christie Festival or anything at Torre Abbey. The walk along the waterfront is elegant and safe, even at night. The staff are wonderful and if you like good, old-fashioned service and a traditional English breakfast, you will love it. The pool, bar and lounges are spacious and comfortable and the rooms are clean.

Location is amazing - right by the station, the beach and the festival we were attending. Hotel bar is gorgeous but swimming pool area needs some attention and more loungers. Rooms at the top of the hotel are incredibly hot but a fan is provided (we only found that the next morning!). Staff are super friendly and helpful.

A trusted hotel

Service has improved a lot at The Grand. The hotel is a little tired and my room smelt musty and had stains on the carpet, despite being one of the renovated rooms. The location is ideal, being close to the railway station. The bed was very comfortable and Ligo in the restaurant was extremely helpful at breakfast. I stay every year and check in was much better this year, with my room being available on arrival.
