Room was reasonable. £14 car parking fee a massive turn off. No remote control for TV in my room; I asked the receptionist for one. I was assured a remote would be brought to my room but it never appeared. Shall not stay again.

Suite and sour, we were originally booked into a deluxe double room with a sea view, but were given the option of a two room suite with separate bathroom for £40 per night extra, which We took. Fantastic sized rooms, but with very tired and worn out furnishings. Frayed curtains and sofa and chairs which looked like wicker conservatory furniture which might well been purchased from a charity furniture shop. Most of the windows were draught taped with black duct tape in a rather rough manner. For a premium room in what claims to be four star accommodation I find that to be unacceptable. However, the bed was large and comfortable, the bathroom basic but with a good working shower (over the bath), and two wash basins. (Why two?). The rooms were very clean, and a basic but reasonably appointed hospitality tray was supplied. The food was good, I would say a talented chef working to a very tight budget, the desserts were particularly good. I noticed that since our last visit the offer of a dinner bread roll with the starter has ceased. (An indication of tough times perhaps?). The buffet breakfast was good, but let down by what looked like dried scrambled eggs and tinned mushrooms. The staff were on the whole very helpful and friendly. Overall I feel that this once grand and historical hotel has rather lost its way, and is in need of a much needed freshening up. I have stayed here 7 times now, and can feel it is not what it was when we first came to stay.
Ambassador Suite very largecliving room
