Loved the quirkiness and history associated with this hotel. It is a fabulous location and swimming in the (heated) outdoor pool before breakfast was such a treat. Great breakfast too! The staff are friendly and helpful. It is a shame that the owners are allowing the fabric of the property to deteriorate as they want to knock it down and build something huge and modern. I think the main building should be listed and hope to return to this lovely spot before the developers get their way.

Lovely quirky hotel has so much history. Staff were wonderful and location couldn't be better. All round perfect for a quiet break just to get away from it all.

Lovely hotel, bit dated but that is more than made up by the service and food. The view is to be seen. The food packages are well worth the cost, the food is excellent and portions are huge.

Great location, parking is a nightmare. Main areas are a little dated and tired and the walls are very thin between rooms but actually this is the most welcoming little hotel I have ever stayed at. I will definite be coming back… as do most of the guests who stay here.

Surprisingly good overall
We arrived not quite knowing what to expect after reading mixed reviews. First impression was the buildings were dated and a bit shabby. However we got a warm welcome and early check in to our room which, although not huge, had clearly been well refurbished not too long ago. As we started to settle in we became more accepting of the artexed walls and dated feel of the public areas and appreciated the stunning location, very freindly staff throughout and great food. We slept well thanks to a good quality mattress and the absence of howling dogs, which had been one of our concerns. We swam in the cold September sea, followed by the outdoor pool, which at 26' wasn't hot, but certainty a huge improvement on the 16' sea! We loved the steamroom, sauna and hot tub, which we had to ourselves and I don't think I've ever had a better full english breakfast despite numerous stays in 5 star accommodation. The Enid Blyton and other memorabilia was very interesting and we took one of the recommended walks through lovely moorland with stunning views. We did find it a bit pricey for a 3 star hotel, but taking into account the location and everything else, including the endless choice of both indoor outside places to sit and relax, we had a great 2 night stay and would recommend.

We had unique and wonderful stay. Whilst it’s dated in places, it’s got real character and is well looked after. The pools, and spa facilities were all the right temperatures and very well cleaned, staffed and maintained. There was a slight issue with the room, but the staff rehoused us with no issue. The walks behind the hotel was utterly stunning- a very tranquil yet accessible spot.

Don’t visit this hotel. Hidden charges.
Booked dinner, bed and breakfast for one adult and two kids. Was charged an outrageous amount for the children’s meals. They tried to charge me for my adult meals. They had done this to other guests. It’s a rip off hotel.
