Room and bathroom is quite dated and could do with some sprucing up. The view from the room was a walk with foot traffic above that could see in through the windows. The bed was uncomfortable with very flat pillows. In the middle of the night. I woke up to itchy bug bites on my face and arms and found bed bugs on the pillows and mattress. Informed reception staff upon checking out the next morning and was told “thanks for letting us know”. Breakfast was as expected, croissants were very light and fluffy. The hotel is easily accessible and just a short walk through the gardens to the sea front and town.

TRULY AWFUL EXPERIENCE

We have just had a 5 night stay at this hotel and I can honestly say that this was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in and I have stayed in many around the world. The only good thing going for it are the grounds which are stunning. We booked dinner bed and breakfast. The "hot" buffet breakfast was cold every morning. scrambled eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, bacon, sausage, hash browns - good selection but cold. Had the option poached or fried eggs but when poached eggs arrived they weren't cooked. There were the usual pastries and overipe fruit. It was truly awful. The waitresses were even advising people not to order the eggs!!! The evening meals were terrible as well. OK you could pick from the menu but it was pot luck whether the chef could cook it! On two evenings I had to send my soup back as it was cold. One time the hot crusty roll turned out to be a piece of bread with margarine and the next time the hot roll was still frozen inside. One evening apparently they had an agency chef who didn't know how to cook - the manager warned the people who had booked for evening meal that this was the case but those who had dinner included in their stay were not so faced with not having anything to eat that evening we sent out for a Chinese takeaway. Barman disappeared for long periods - so long that guests were pulling their own pints! Beware of dog friendly - the dining room is very small and the dogs are sat with their noses on the table eyeing up the food!
Room with a view - not
Standard room and they wouldn't change it even though I wanted to upgrade

The property location is excellent in 7 acres of grounds leading down to the seafront. The food is good but we stayed 2 weeks and there wasn't that many choices for that length of stay. The matress on my bed had seen better days and metal was not padded in places, my back was aching into the second week ,I found an extra blanket and folded that to cover the metal on the mattress and also slept on top of the quilt. I hope they renew the mattresses soon because although some other areas could do with a bit of a spruce up its the only thing that really let it down. There was a stool that hadn't been used for some while that was covered in dust. The staff really make the place a good place to stay once the mattresses are sorted though. It was our second visit so obviously ok the first time.

Fantastic staff on a hot weekend

On a very hot weekend we were allocated a room on the top floor next to the kitchen extractor fan. We, and especially our dog, could not have slept in the very high temperature. The staff were extremely accommodating and despite the hotel being very busy, we were moved to another cooler and less smelly room. The hotel is lovely and the grounds are amazing. We've visited a few times and they are steadily updating the hotel and the lovely swimming pool is now open again. There's an element of faded glory that they are trying to address and the hotel has a lot going for it.
