Had afternoon tea for two today, as a thank you to a friend. Excellent, friendly service. Good selection of sandwiches, lovely scones with jam and cream, and 3 different types of cake all of which were delicious. Pot of tea and a pot of coffee. Eat this in the conservatory over looking the gardens, and out to sea. Would definitely recommend, and will be back again.

This is the most amazing hotel I’ve ever been to! The staff were all absolutely incredible and they were so kind and helpful. The food was amazing and the puddings were so good. They have an indoor and outdoor pool, a games room, a lovely outdoor area which includes a giant chess and droughts board and the view of the sea. They had live music one of the nights we were there which was such a lovely addition. They are also dog friendly and are so kind to the dogs. The bunk beds in the 4 people bedrooms were so cute! The children loved sleeping in them and they were so comfy. All rooms have a little fridge and they put milk and biscuits in it. Such a wonderful hotel. I will definitely be coming back here really soon and I definitely recommend!

Very nice stay. Staff were friendly and food was great! Pools all nice and heated. Our room was the ground floor terrace. Nice outdoor area. We also had a hot tub, sunbeds and a table & chairs. Gate out onto the outdoor pool! The toiletries in the room were shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap and body lotion. Very nice quality. Hairdryer and mini fridge in room. Facilities were great! Views from the garden were amazing! For families they have a games room which my little one loved. Would highly recommend this hotel!

I would class this as a traditional rather than boutique style hotel with lovely gardens that have plenty of seating options. There’s a good sized outdoor pool which is popular with children in the school holidays. The pool area is well kept with good quality loungers. For those with children there’s plenty to keep them occupied. We had a sea view and balcony which also overlooks the gardens and was splendid. If you don’t make use of the view, you might think the room is a bit expensive. Having said that, the bed was very comfortable, the room was clean, well decorated and a reasonable size. In room facilities are in line with a 3 star hotel so if you are used to 4 star you will notice the difference in these, but the view more than compensates. Food was a mixed bag. I had fish which was good and the accompanying potatoes were lovely and crisp but all the veg was overcooked and tasteless. The sausages wrapped in bacon didn’t hit the mark and for our taste could do with being more well done. Equally, the gravy lacked something. I note that others say the menu changes regularly which is good if you are staying for a few days and want to eat on site, but we ate out so our one experience may not be representative. The dining area and bar seem more functional than atmospheric. The staff are friendly and willing to have a chat if you want to. In summary, the price is at the higher end for a hotel of this type but the balcony, views and garden are the reason why.

Just a quick visit to watch a live band. Even though I wasn't staying the staff were brilliant in helping me out and just ever so friendly. The grounds were well maintained and the views were beautiful. Felt like I was in another country. So relaxing, just wish I had time to stay longer. Definitely looking into staying next time. Great job everyone who works there

Stayed here for 2 nights as a family, 2 adults, 2 children 31st til 2nd November 2025. Best hotel we've ever stayed in, absolutely beautiful room with balcony, beds were super comfortable, room was clean with fresh milk in the fridge available for use in coffee/tea. Even provided a sort of night light on bedside table that my daughter loved for night time. Staff were lovely and accommodating. Breakfast was tasty and cooked fresh upon ordering. Will be returning in the future.
