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.
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 !!
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 !
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.
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!
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.
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.

Beautiful and Elegant seafront hotel
The Grand is a very lovely hotel which has kept its feeling of grandeur from times gone by without being old fashioned or shabby. It has a quiet elegance with exceptional decor and service.
Everything was perfect! Beautiful old grand hotel! Very clean and staff was exceptional friendly! We felt very welcomed and would come back any time. We loved it.
Lovely staff, the property is very grand including the dining room and lobby. Room itself slightly outdated but lovely amenities. Spa area also slightly outdated but enjoyable. Staff were wonderful!
