We stayed for one night in early Feb, and although the building work on the new spa area spoils the look for now, the hotel itself is a lovely reinvention of a Victorian building into a chic modern hotel and I’m sure it’s going to be fabulous. Staff were great, and our ‘better’ room in the old building was gorgeous... More

2nd time at the hotel, and have to admit, I'm a big fan of the hotel ! We stayed in an ocean view room on a dinner bed and breakfast plan, so we had dinner in the Brasserie, which was very good and a varied selection. Breakfast was very good and lots of it ! Ocean view rooms are a... More

Jamie Oliver's 15 is within very easy walking distance of the hotel. Car parking is available at the hotel and also at a car park near... More

We stayed between Christmas and the New Year. Very nice staff met us, room had sea views, with outside patio, and you can walk down to the beach. Pleasant cafe/bar relaxation area overlooking the beach. We went to Jamie Oliver in the evening, which was superb; not cheap, but you will enjoy it! The room itself was comfortable, with nice...

We stayed 3 nights on the Taste of the Bay package during the week leading up to Christmas. It was a very good stay. They have a big construction projection in process as they add a spa and pool. That blocked the views from the main bar/chillout area, but it was fine. There was no noise from the construction, and... More

Loads of space, lovely big bed & some gorgeous l'occitane toiletries. The staff were great and more than helpful.... More

This is a lovely hotel with the exception of the wooden flooring in the main part of the hotel. They were very creaky and you could hear every movement in and around your room. Much prefer the rooms in the ocean wing, didn't have any issues in that section of the hotel. The location is amazing. The lounge bar area... More
