Outdoor pool was wonderful, staff were amazing and loved the spa - such a relaxing stay, took full advantage of the room service for maximum relaxation! Will be back
Super stay. Bright, clean room Superior Classic. Had tasty sandwich lunch outside in sunshine. The hotel is wonderfully situated, set back from the road and coastline. Beachy Head walks very close by and superb promenade walks right out front by the sea. Great for Congress Theatre. Splendid historic building, facilities and friendly staff. Parking on site. Fabulous varied breakfast....cereals, fruits, smoked salmon/meats/cheeses and served hot breakfasts. Love it there. Thanks
Everything about the experience was amazing from the welcoming until the check out. The room was spacious; the hotel is excellent; the food choice at breakfast was perfect

Was good to upgrade the room for a beach side-on very. Room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was included and was very filling. We ate in the restuarant the first night and had great food. Would recommend the steak! Staff were very friendly. Also used the outdoor and indoor pools. They were nicely appointed and the outdoor pool was larger enough to feel that you were getting some excercise done, not just messing about in the water. Being on the sea front with the beach nearby and also the town and theatres with in easy walk meant the hotel was in a good location.
Great facilities, spa treatment was lovely and the heated outdoor swimming pool in September was a bonus.
Staff was all friendly, wide range of cocktails at the bar, restaurants were also of high standard.
Lovely hotel with very friendly staff. Right opposite beach and short walk to pier. Breakfast was lovely, spa/pool great. Had a relaxed time and great sleep in the comfy bed!
We had not a single complaint about about our stay at the incredible hotel, all the staff were more than accommodating and the rooms and whole hotel were spotless, amazing food and drinks and we will definitely return in the near future !! Couldn't be happier with the whole holiday !! thank you !!
Loved this property! While the room was a bit dated, it was nice and comfortable. The common areas were absolutely beautiful and truly grand! Would definitely stay there again! Easy drive to the Seven Sisters Cliffs which were so breathtaking not to mention the beautiful countryside.
Hotel was very clean and comfortable. We needed an early breakfast before an event and our request was honoured without any fuss. Breakfast very good quality. A successful weekend stay. Unfortunately the indoor pool was closed !

The indoor pool was great for the kids and the breakfast was very tasty.
A beautiful hotel with such professional staff yet so friendly and helpful. Breakfast and dinner was excellent and the outdoor and indoor pool lovely. Gardens are well kept and very pretty.
Parking available, check in was very easy. Staff were always friendly and professional. The room was clean. Coffee, tea and water available in the room. Just across from the sea which made it a really relaxing break. Breakfast was great, with a lot of options available. You could choose from continental, English or both types of breakfast. Check out also very straightforward.
