We had a very nice sea view room and had dinner on the terrace. Really nice food and good service. We were there only one night but would like to stay there again and for longer.
Great overall hotel and for easy access to coast line from Hastings through to Seven Sisters Cliff
The hotel is next to train line but no issues re noise
Staff is great and supportive
Breakfast various options from hot and cold. Great Sunday roast.
Excellent stay hotel was welcoming clean and great atmosphere ,food had great choice for lunch and dinner service was and staff very helpful
Great hotel right on the beach would recommend and will be returning soon
Thanks for a great stay.
We very much enjoyed our stay with you. The room was very clean and the aspect was beautiful.
Checking in was a little slow due to some admin problems but overall a good stay.
Lovely atmosphere great staff
Ask for a quiet room at the back.
Our room was at the front, such a shame we had very little sleep due to the traffic noise.

Room was hot, and noisy due to proximity of kitchen extraction units
Convenient location and great setting right next to beach.
I loved the relaxed vibe, the friendly staff and the location right on the beach. It’s a bit retro, but in all the good ways. It was just lacking a seafront pool and a shower for the thermal spa. Fantastic food.
We had an amazing stay, the hotel and staff are fabulous. The spa is a little on the small side and when busy doesn’t offer many areas to escape everyone, but the treatments are fantastic and well worth the money. Overall a fantastic stay! Thank you, we will be back!
My room and en suite were spotless. The bed was very comfortable.
The waiting staff were charming and very, unobtrusively efficient.
We felt the hotel was undoubtedly well managed.
I.have no.hesitation in commanding it to others.
We'll be back !
Great hotel and stay. Can't fault it...friendly & helpful staff, tasty evening meal & breakfast, comfortable room, with fantastic sea view and enjoyable spa facilities (worth the additional payment)!
Fantastic bathroom. Comfortable bed.
Helpful staff. A bit of a rabbit warren. No lift to upper floors. An elderly couple were struggling up the stairs and were not finding it easy. The staff had offered to help them but they had declined.
Would have helped to have written information about meal times, local transport especially train service, contact numbers and places of local interest
Lovely Hotel with friendly staff and good food.
However, restaurant staff need more training as several times mistakes were made with our food and drink orders.
Get this done and we would have given top marks.
We did enjoy our three days break.
Friendly and accommodating staff. Room clean and had everything we needed. Very tasty breakfast with attentive and pleasant staff service.
I would recommend this hotel.
Overall I think the price of accommodation does not equate to the quality of the accommodation and breakfast setup.
Bed comfortable with good linen
Room stuffy without a fan or window to open
Staff friendly and helpful
Great shower, water hot with good pressure
I could not find temperature controls, nor instructions, nor a fan and there was no window to open. Just the doors to the patio - lovely but quite vunerable on the first floor
Why oh why can a hair dryer not be provided with a long enough cord to get near a mirror or a mirror placed near the outlet. Options were: bathroom too far to see appropriately or right above the coffee / tea cups
Breakfast - serve eggs with toast rather then patron toasting bread themselves at the continental serving area and waiting for the eggs to be delivered
Booked a short stay first-time visit and everything was perfect! Room clean & comfortable, staff friendly & attentive, food served hot & cocktails delicious! Spa therapist Steph was amazing and would highly recommend a treatment.

Had a wonderful stay, food was lovely, room was spacious with lovely decor. Treatment in the spa was fabulous. Very nice stay, thank you, we will be back!
Great hotel right on the beach. Staff were friendly and helpful, and food at the restaurant was great (we had breakfast, lunch and dinner over 2 days). Small spa area which was a nice treat after a days cycling! Our room was on the small side but it was perfectly fine for a short stay (and the bathroom was big!) Would recommend!
