Stayed here in October as a treat for my Mum. Our rooms were beautiful and even though we were on the front of the hotel on what felt like the busiest road in Britain, we didn't have any problem with traffic noise. I need fresh milk with my tea and I was disappointed that there was no mini fridge in either room, especially for the price we paid. The previous night we had stayed in Bournemouth, overlooking the sea with a balcony. I paid less and there was a fridge for us to put our milk and a few snacks for our expeditions. That would be a recommendation for me but not the reason I dropped 1 star

Lovely friendly staff. Needed some attention to detail in the rooms (stayed in a deluxe four poster) - needed bar soap, hand and body lotion, etc. Only had shampoo/conditioner and a harsh body wash. Needed bottled water and in such a deluxe room, robes would have been nice.

My wife organised a surprise celebration for my 70th birthday & instead of a quiet, romantic weekend, 12 of our friends descended on the hotel to help me celebrate. It was a brilliant weekend & at all times the staff could not do enough for us. From management to every level of employee nothing was too much trouble & it was service with a smile throughout. The Breakfasts were superb, everything you would expect from a buffet breakfast, but the quality was excellent, especially the scrambled egg, which a number of our party commented they had never tasted massed produced scrambled eggs like it,

Great service, lovely friendly staff. Never felt rushed at all. Only complaint was the service charge added on the bill as we prefer to give what we want to those we want to.

Superb friendly and helpful staff. Accommodations were fine but not extravagant. We were delayed from the USA due to Hurricane Edna and had to cancel our first night. We were charged a full night's stay per the policy. I let a friend know who was looking for a room that night and he was told our two rooms had already been booked that night. So both rooms were rebooked, both rooms charged full night's stay for us, and no reply from the unfriendly manager. A real racket.
