Went there for a week on a coach trip from Wales and at the same time there was a coach load in from Yorkshire too (not too fond of Yorkshire dwellers since 1968 when one of them charged me half a crown to use his phone in an emergency for a 4p local call and Geoffrey Boycott , of course, speaks for himself) thus the hotel was full if somewhat wrinkly. Our rooms were fine but there was no view in either of them - (although there are many sea views at the hotel as it's location is excellent.) The hotel was clean including the bedrooms and looked good despite a certain peculiar laxity in the matter of decorating which I had noticed in it's sister hotel the Chadwick, just up the road. It is almost as if the owners had given some simple painting work to an incompetent or disinterested relative just to keep him busy. For example there were dabs of paint on some of the light fittings or on the walls. These blemishes are not glaringly obvious just surprising, so don't let it put you off.
The food was a carvery and was very good with reasonable choice although safe. The group has its own farms and uses fresh produce from the farms in its kitchens. I heard only one criticism of the food which concerned alleged undercooking of the broccoli. But we were from Wales and 'undercooked vegetables ' are regarded as a hideous offence.
Breakfast, self service, was excellent. At first I was extremely worried about the positioning of a toasting machine right at the start of the buffet line. I thought it would screw up the whole advancing line as increasing knots of decrepits gathered round the toaster unable to move on until their two slices had dropped down like tickets to the rest of the show. However to my utter amazement the whole thing worked smoothly and without hold ups.
The TV's in the rooms were modern, flat screen and with very poor reception but that didnt bother us.
The making up of the room each day was carried out efficiently and invisibly.
I would recommend it as a hotel in an excellent location, clean with good food and at reasonable cost.
