Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers stunning views on the cliff-top promenade overlooking Lyme Bay. The rooms are spacious and come with balconies to enjoy the great scenery. The service is commendable, with attentive housekeeping. The location is ideal, close to a tram-like train leading to a beach with excellent facilities. However, dining options are limited to artisan bread. Overall, a great value for a memorable stay.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The location is superb, right on the cliff-top promenade overlooking Lyme Bay, and the rooms are cozy and clean. The service was outstanding, with attentive staff always ready to assist. While the dining experience was exceptional with a fantastic view, some more variety in the breakfast options would have been great. The hotel facilities were top-notch, especially the well-maintained pool area. Overall, great value for money!
My stay at the hotel was simply fantastic! The location was superb, right on the cliff-top promenade with breathtaking views of Lyme Bay and close to fabulous cafes. The rooms were cozy, and the service was top-notch. However, the dining with fantastic views was a bit underwhelming. The facilities were excellent, though the price could have been better for the value provided.
