Really don't know where to start. Stayed as a single in December.... only myself and another couple were guests at the hotel but it was off-season and preXmas. First of all there was the Owners toddler running around reception, also heard the child in the kitchen (health and safety issues?) when Dinner was being served and moreover, the child's room in the Proprietors flat was above mine - so I heard the child screaming for "Mama"..... Meal was a joke. Ordered Camembert as starter to find it delivered in the same box they bought it, placed on a plate with side salad and bread... only to find the

Didn't stay in hotel but stopped for a light lunch. Food was far too expensive for what it was. £38 for a sandwich, prawn cocktail, 2 cans of coke and a bottle of water. Prawn cocktail was tiny with few bits of lettuce and a tablespoon of prawns was £16. Girl who served us was lovely.

The most beautiful old world hotel. Stunning views and shoreline location but the best thing by far is the staff. Kind, skilled and welcoming.

We had a fantastic time at the hotel, Dianne, Victor and all of the team could not of been more attentive. The food was amazing. We had had so much food we don't need to eat for a week now! The room was had a beautiful view of the beach, our golden retriever loved it. The room was fresh and clean on our arrival. We can't wait to go back at New year for the black tie event, we have already booked. Thank you all for Steve's birthday surprise in the VIP dining room and the bottle of moet champagne xx

Great location had a coffee and cake after a walk . the coffee though is awful can’t believe such a nice hotel served sub standard watery coffee. Weak and had no taste . They should invest in decent beans and machine. The member of staff who served us was nice though and friendly

Lunch was great and view was amazing sat out on the lawn. But staff didn’t seem to know what they were doing. We walked in and were asked ‘what do you want’ after being ignored and not given a menu - how are we meant to know without seeing a menu? Some confusion with prices and scone was stale. Definitely not worth the extortionate prices.
