‘Nothing is too much to ask for, every detail attended to with that touch of elegance that you expect’ this quote is from the hotel website and surely breaks the trade description act! I stayed a few nights and suffered a similar lack of customer service! The room was ok but the sheets and bins were not changed and nor... More

I would tend to concur with the Swiss couples' experience. Arrived to find reception door closed and no sign of life within. Located manager serving behind bar, who immediately advised us that the hotel was in administration and that he was a relief manager appointed by the administrators. Proceeded to book in and duly went to our room which (... More

The rooms were terrible. dirty, dust everywhere and very loud as well. after having slept terribly, we decided to go to breakfast in the morning. to our surprise there hadnt been any breakfast...

I spent 3 weeks here while working on a project on the Isle of Wight and got to know the place pretty well. I was initially put off a bit by the condition of the property. This is not a new hotel and although I found it pretty clean and generally well maintained you should not expect a pristine property.... More

At midnight when we returned from a night out we found strange people were sleeping in our beds and strange luggage in our... More

Although things were still not as good as we'd like them to be, we still had a good time. There was a problem with the booking and as usual, there's a problem with the electronic keys. The service was really friendly service this year and the waiting staff tried very hard - special mention to Zack who really had is... More

Our room was very clean and smelled lovely, had a wonderful view of the sea, Some things could do with replacing / fixing but that all costs, and at 60 quid a room with breakfast included can't really complain. More
