“The sheer scale of the building is impressive, with many rooms boasting genuinely amazing sea views, often enhanced by a double-aspect window. It's clear that a grand, historic property is at the heart of this, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches like spa baths in some rooms and the provided dressing gowns. The location, too, is hard to fault, placing you right by the seafront and close to amenities.”
