”There’s only a small minor the spa could do with a spinner for swimming costumes”

”It's a rare joy to find a hotel with in room controlled aircon. I'd rebook just for that! The hotel is a grand old place and parking is a nightmare. But it's well situated with a sea walk just yards from your door and a surprisingly quiet location close to town.”

”Great value. Very convenient location. Loads of free parking. Friendly staff.”

”Only stayed for a night but room was nice, staff friendly. ”

”Beautiful Hotel and room with great view. Exceptionally helpful and nice staff. Nice Location.”

”Lovely historic hotel, very pleasant and helpful staff, good food and bar, easy parking. All great. Only suggestion for improvement was brighter bedside lights for reading. But loved our stay!”

”Over the years my family and I have stayed here many times and I’m happy to say that the high standards we have previously experienced, are ongoing. Excellent staff, great facilities and a fantastic breakfast. Sadly we didn’t get a chance to use the pool and leisure facilities due to our own busy schedule, but next time we will be sure to plan less and do more! Keep up the good work all at the Connaught. ”

”Nice clean rooms and friendly staff ”
