Marsham Court Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It has been a few years since we have stayed at Marsham Court Hotel due to the general price increases. However, after receiving a discount code, we quickly booked. The staff were absolutely fantastic! Helpful, friendly and sorted any query quickly and with a smile. They could not have been more helpful! The weather was very hot outside so they had near reception a big water urn with ice which they even let us fill up our own water bottles with. The amenities are fantastic. Infact the weather was so hot that the kids preferred the outdoor pool even to the beach! The hotel is across the road from the path leading down to the beach where the pier, shops and facilities are, so a fantastic location!"
