"Amazing views, lovely hotel"
We were there for a quiet night away, arriving at the hotel it wasn't quite as we expected as it is not the prettiest of buildings!! However when we got inside we were very pleasantly suprised, the hotel was lovely, the staff very friendly and the food amazing - best of all was the total peace and quiet outside and the amazing view!

"Hard to find"
The hotel was as described so no shocks there. We were however shocked at the remoteness. There was nowhere nearby to go without driving so we had no choice but to eat in the hotel. The food was ok but not brilliant. The bar area should be bigger and not 'on top' of the dining area. Read less
Likes:
The room was beautifully decorated and very clean. Breakfast excellent.
Dislikes:
As mentioned before, the bar area and dining area could have been larger and separate.

"Disappointing start but improved after feedback given"
On arrival we were allocated a groung floor sea view room.However we were overlooked from the outside path, so requested a move. We were happily offered a 1st flr room, however this room could be viewed from the restuarant. Finally we moved to the 2nd floor. It was not overlooked and seemed o.k. Read less
Likes:
The staff were extremely helpful in all areas.
We enjoyed our dinner in The Cliff restuarant and felt
the quality and value of food was good
Dislikes:
We felt the outside areas were bleak and still resembled a military base.
We were also disappointed with the sps area and changing rooms and felt it resembled a Leisure centre and not a luxury spa.
