    Beautiful building and grounds, gorgeous view over the sea.

    I think the hotel would benefit from a slightly cheaper breakfast and greater availability of bar snacks and cream teas throughout the day and evening rather than just at set times- the hotel is missing an opportunity here! The indoor pool requires an upgrade and the ‘sauna’ is more like a draughty garden shed!!

    The building is beautiful, the outdoor heated pool was fantastic for the children. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained and there’s a beautiful view out over the sea. The staff were friendly and our room was well kept with replacement biscuits, water and hot drinks provided each day.

    Lovely hotel, in a lovely setting, had perfect weather set on the terrace enjoying the sun whilst listening to the outdoor live music. Room was amazing, lovely sea view, spacious, everything you need in a room and clean. Lunch was lovely, breakfast not great but it wouldn’t stop us coming again

    We were warned on the second day that there were men working on the flat roof outside our bedroom window and asked if we wanted to move rooms. We didn’t because we’d already settled but it was off putting having to keep the curtains closed when we went back to our room. Hopefully next time we visit we can be compensated with an upgrade to a sea view 😊

    We loved the location and facilities at the hotel as well as the proximity to the beach.

    The car park at the rear of the hotel is long way from reception. A long way to carry your bags.

    Beautiful location right on the beach. Excellent facilities with tennis, swimming pool, spa and gym. Stayed in the Osborne room that was spacious and had a sea view.

    Although the dinner menu was full of enticing options, the food wasn't the highlight of my stay. The wine was very good though and there were many excellent options inside and outside to enjoy a tipple and take in the views.

    A beautiful setting and friendly staff welcomed me to this hotel. The location, overlooking the sea was spectacular. Inside, the hotel was perfectly comfortable. Both the indoor and outdoor heated pool looked very welcoming but, unfortunately,I wasn't able to partake on this occasion.

    Breakfast was cold and sausage and bacon could have done with cooking more, was very rushed due to no explanation about continental breakfast when we first sat down and breakfast came before we could even start the continental part.

    The room could have done with two chairs, so we could look at the view. Also the bathroom was a bit short of shelves to put stuff, and no bath.

    The first room we were given had no working power sockets. No phone charging, tv, kettle etc. We ended up having to re pack and move rooms at 11pm. The next morning, in the upgraded room, the shower did not work. It was eventually 'fixed' but using it was the most complicated process that had to be demonstrated to us. Never has using a shower been so ridiculously difficult.

    Restaurant food was excellent. Staff were well trained.

    Furniture tired and bashed in bedroom. We weren’t told of the extent of the scaffolding until the day we were arriving, then told we’d basically have to put up with it as no other rooms were available and as we’d booked through booking.com we would not get a refund. In the end another room was found. Spa area very tired and you can’t really call it a spa!

    Room was a lovely size, lovely views, friendly staff. Food very good.

    The amount of noise from the wedding party at the weekend.

    The sea view was Fabulous. The room was very spacious and well arranged. The bed was very comfy. The proximity to the lovely Meadfoot Beach. The outdoor bar and restaurant is a very relaxing place to eat and drink amongst friends.

    No disabled access to the hotel. We had to carry my son’s pram the stairs every time we enter/exit the hotel. It was too hot in our room during the day even with the heating switch off. Breakfast was average.

    We were staying in one of the junior suites and our room was spacious and clean. We had a lovely view of the sea. Didn’t use a lot of the hotel’s facilities as we were there only for two nights. The staff were polite, especially at the reception.
