The property was being renovated whilst we were there, no one had told us this prior to booking despite a few emails to the hotel about parking and booking meals. The lift broke. Dust from builders in the dining area, builders walking around the hotel using inappropriate language. The room wasn’t cleaned properly mugs not cleaned for tea and coffee just washed up under the tap, witnessed after asking for our room to be cleaned. Dubious stains on carpets too. had to ask for toilet paper. Manager Andrew did not care however Michelle another manager was apologetic. A waste of my few days away an awful hotel.

Disappointed

Room ready on arrival and friendly staff on check-in. Very dated hotel which is being renovated but we had a terrible nights sleep in a very noisy room, heaters making loud noise and also dogs barking in rooms early morning. When asked on departure if everything had been ok we did highlight these things. Not apologetic at all, it was almost as if it was said on a regular basis. Glad we didn’t do the upgrade! Shame as I’d always wanted to stay here from being you. - highly disappointed.

Excellent traditional recently modernised hotel

Such a lovely old fashioned but friendly large hotel. Brilliant views of the sea and Abbey. We chose a sea view room and it is worth it. We paid for parking in their secure car park for peace of mind. Excellent breakfast served until 10am. Nice bar and restaurant for the evenings. Lovely friendly staff. Lovely warm room with original features but recently modernised. Dog friendly hotel and areas (we don’t have one). Will be returning and recommend.

Location of the property was fantastic. Parking needs to be booked before hand as there are limited spaces. Desperately in need of decorating. We stayed 3 nights and the room wasn’t serviced once, even when we asked for it.

Good views over the harbour but worst coffee

Nice hotel, shame about the ongoing renovations, bar was a building site and the coffee is possibly the worst I’ve ever had. Staff were nice tho and renovated room was fine for the price.
