"This fading gem was originally a 5 star hotel in eras gone by, hosting famous people and the rich. It is now in a sad state, with much needed repair and renovation to the building and facilities. The pool is not very ckean, cloudy and has an unrepaired leak that has been left, and the hose has to constantly fill the pool. The filter unit is sticking up from the pool bottom and remains unrepaired with the end of the pool blocked off
The breakfast costing £14.50 pp was the worst I have had in years. No clean mugs so paper cups instead. Hot buffet mostly cold and eggs undercooked. Very little food kn offer. One type of pastry with one burnt croissant left! No cheese or ham and little choice to spread on toast. Sticky mess left uncleared up in front of tea coffee machine. On plus side Clipper tea bags were good. Other plusses were lovely sea view from room. Suoerior room was very spacious with small stone balcony. Great shame that hotel and facilities have let to get into disrepair. On a final note parking in hotel car park is £20.00 per day!! Lovely location right opposite zig zag to beach, crying shame about the state of hotel and restaurant, bar."
