We cannot fault the hotel...
...staff , food , decor , service ! Their wedding co-ordinator Leanne is fantastic - regularly keeps you updated , is enthusiastic and makes you feel totally at ease. The rooms in which our guests and we stayed, were large and clean and the sea view rooms are just special. Every part of the day ran without a hitch and all the staff were super friendly and helpful. Can’t recommend this hotel enough as a wedding venue. Weather permitting, photos of the beach , promenade and lighthouse in the background is beautiful. And not forgetting the grand staircase which also makes a lovely photo.
