Over the years my family and I have stayed here many times and I’m happy to say that the high standards we have previously experienced, are ongoing. Excellent staff, great facilities and a fantastic breakfast. Sadly we didn’t get a chance to use the pool and leisure facilities due to our own busy schedule, but next time we will be sure to plan less and do more! Keep up the good work all at the Connaught.

Great value and a short walk to the BIC for a concert (also close to the town and beaches). Comfortable, clean and good parking - I believe parking is free if you book direct, we paid £8 as we booked through an agent. Really lovely, friendly and helpful receptionist

That is a dump!

Amazing value for a twin room including breakfast and parking on site. Room was small but clean and comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It was less than a 10 minute walk to the BIC. The breakfast buffet was good; all the usual fare: pastries, yoghurts, bread, cheese, ham, fruit, cereal, and cooked breakfast.
