The property was stunning, I don't recall the last time I was shown to our room. The downstair decor is superb, I felt like I needed a cocktail dress to really enjoy it (think Downton Abbey). The old fashioned elevator, the decor, the color scheme, it was beautiful. The staff were very friendly and most helpful. Out room was beautiful, with a fabulous view of the beach and pier. We were able to sleep with the windows open and enjoy the sound of the waves. The bathroom and huge tub just to die for. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it is a shame it was only one night. We would return for sure, with a cocktail dress!

Staff were lovely and went out of their way to ensure you were satisfied and had everything you needed. The rooms are large and spacious but not luxury. If you look there are lots of dents and dings, the shower screen is not great, the taps are scaled inside, the carpets are very stained. Look I am making this sound awful it wasnt but it isnt luxury by any standard of where I have stayed previously but I would stay again yes.

George was excellent operating the hotel and made our experience alot better. The property is in a great location, eqsy parking nearby and excellent dining options nearby. I did not eat at hotel for breakfast, but found great options at nearby beach and back street, excellent Greek breakfast. If we returned to area, we would definitely stay a the Chatsworth hotel again and recommend others to do so.

Excellent sea front hotel

A lovely hotel which was recently renovated. The staff are brilliant and super helpful. Although we did not use the restaurant it looked very good. There was a beautiful cocktail bar too. Our room was on the 4th floor and reached by a gorgeous old lift complete with seats!! The room itself was a little shabby in parts but the views were magnificent. Bathroom was large and very nice. Excellent coffee in the rooms and they all come with access to Netflix etc. Would definitely stay here again. The owners have done a great job of renovating this over many years.

Would stay here again!!

Really friendly staff on reception, parking permit for 24 hours was £2.20, which was really good for right on the seafront. Room was amazing!! Really clean, the biggest bed I’ve ever seen, and really comfortable. Lovely table and chairs by huge windows looking out to the sea. And the bathroom - WOW!!! Huge jacuzzi bath, and big shower!

Clean hotel, communal areas are lovely and breakfast is great. Our room was not as I’d expected. It was small and was worn with chips in furniture and cold! I asked for extra bedding and this was provided, I was also offered a heater for the room as the radiator was not working. I can’t see how the room could have been described as delux double as it was an attic room and the sloping walls meant a mirror couldn’t be hung above the sink so shaving was difficult.
