"We enjoyed our long weekend at the Sand Banks Hotel. Our room had a beautiful view. We enjoyed the breakfasts & spent many a happy hour in the outside seating area with the wider family. The staff throughout the hotel were friendly & very helpful. The chambermaids kept the room well, topping up with essentials. We will certainly go again."

"I imagine this hotel is wonderful in the Summer but it was absolutely freezing, the heating wasn't even turned on in the building, there was no extra blanket or duvet in the room provided. When I told reception the next day I got blamed for not saying beforehand but wasn't told that customer service was 24/7 when I checked in? Other than that breakfast was average, room was clean bathroom tiny"

8/10 Good
"Hotel was very good, among the best we have stayed in recently. Nicely decorated, clean and tidy. Facilities were great. Stayed in room 121 which was again, very good. Only downside was the bed was too hard and uncomfortable, otherwise in-room facilities were great. Loved the retro radio. ( a safe and fridge might be nice?) Note:, no Aircon, just desk fans. Breakfast catered for everyone with continental & hot options. We had the full English Breakfast which was great on 2 of our 4 days, passable on the other. We didn't try the main restaurant for dinner. The staff were exceptional, polite, professional and had just the right amount of friendliness. Top marks to the staff. Parking was ample and we had no problems. We would be very happy to recommend this hotel and we will be looking to stay again in the future."
