10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful traditional hotel, full of character and history with incredible staff. Love the sea view, the indoor and outdoor pools and the full 5* service. Great food at the Garden restaurant, and excellent breakfast. There is a reason why this was my 10th stay! Only thing that slightly lets things down is the service in the evening at the bar, which (whilst being very friendly) is slow and always has been - so leave a bit of extra time for your cocktail!

We loved this hotel, although things were a bit jaded in some areas. The public areas and restaurants were lovely. Staff were friendly and helpful and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. We had a great experience and would return.

Overall excellent. Staff are helpful and friendly. There is a need for some small adjustments to management of the hotel in maintenance of the property and in the kitchen and restaurant to ensure an excellent performance throughout.

Elegant old lady of a hotel which I hope never gets ripped out and modernised! However more than a fan in the room should be the normal thing as with any 5 star. Excellent staff and felt cared about. Def staying again. Spa areas are great as are treatments

We stayed for the East Bourne air show- a very hot weekend. We had a spacious room around the back somewhere without air conditioning, although a fan was provided (and we took one with us) and being out the glare of the sun we did not melt. Breakfast, again without aircon was uncomfortable. The hotel is in a great setting but now getting a little tired, that said, I cannot imagine what a refurb would cost nor whether it would be affordable! Breakfast its self was perfect and the staff, many of whom I suspect were draft in for the busy weekend, were nothing short of excellent. I will be going back next year, and would recommend it to others.

Nice stay all around, pleasant staff, nice breakfast but then rooms facing the rear residential comlex/road can get noisy from cars especially with windows open.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The hotel is a little tired. There was no soap in the ensuite, but the staff were excellent. A minor point but the road was closed and there was no parking (ahead of Airbourne) so there was parking available foc with a permit on the local streets and they could have advised this ahead of time to manage uncertainties on arrival. They also advertise they want well dressed diners in the restaurants which is both offputting and not really true!
