Worst mattress I have ever slept on
A comfortable sleep is the primary objective for any hotel but these mattresses (both on the double and single in our room) should have been placed in the dump a few years ago. You could feel every spring and it rolled you to one side. The staff provided a duvet without a sheet to place over the mattress as the solution. I didn’t note there was no A/C as I took that as a given for a hotel near the beach, so a fan had to be requested from the barman as there was not a receptionist present at the desk when we attempted calling and then visiting. A real shame, as the building and location are great. They just need to reinvest in updating their facilities. Oh, and the fan in the bathroom didn’t work so that didn’t help with the heat in the room, as the windows barely opened.

Nicely located large old Victorian hotel
A lovely hotel in walking distance of amenities( or be it up a hill). The hotel room was a bit dated the room we had was above a kitchen. The smell of kitchen fat was alittle unpleasant. The spa area was quite good and clean. The hotel guest’s in general are lovely quiet older people, however you do get few tattooed boozers!!! Who at night seem to get a little noisy when people are trying to sleep!

Based on reviews and a quick check of the hotel website we had high hopes of a clean tidy hotel. On arrival all was seemingly well until we entered the room. Overall the room just seemed a bit tired and in need of a little love. The dated bathroom was damp smelling with dirty splash marks around the sink from the previous guests. There was a thick layer of dust around carpet edges and corners where it may have taken a little more time to clean. The coffee cups were adhered to the drinks tray with sticky runoff from the previous attempt at a rinse and the spoons were stuck inside the bottom of the cups with sticky mess. As the booking was made through a third party there was a charge for using the spa. This was not indicated anywhere in the hotel info on the third party sites. The hydropools were a little tired and the locker doors were missing so no facilities to safely store your belongings.

It was nice but due to an old building it can get chilly even the heating was on full. We did tell them but they never sorted out the simple issues...eg extra heating or thicker duvet!!
