I organised a 60th birthday 3 course lunch for my husband for last Saturday (12th) for 44 people and wow what a day. The events people (Laura and Emily) listened to what I wanted for him and they did more than just deliver. …

We had 3 nights at the Hydro last week. We stayed in room 305 which was clean and comfortable (side sea view). It was nice to have a bathroom with a proper window.  …

An excellent dinner in the Orangery for 20 guests. The organisation was incredible, the food delicious and the service first class. It was absolutely faultless. My thanks to everyone of the staff involved, it made for a wonderful evening and one that will not be forgotten. |Superb!

Beware of booking one of the two suits-( Room 210)! Nicely refurbished,but what a shame the double bed was SO small that it didn't make for a good night's sleep. Nor indeed did the unnecessary " 4 poster"!! …

We recently got married at the Hydro Hotel and it was the most amazing day. The hotel were incredibly accommodating for all of our requests - of which there were a few! The stay itself was also lovely and the pool is great. |I would highly recommend to anyone!

We cannot speak highly enough of this hotel, it was first class. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Their restaurant was wonderful too with an excellent menu and food. Lots of staff were there at all times and the meal was delivered quickly each time. We chose to eat our meals there every night as the food was so good and presented so nicely.

If you're planning to visit this hotel with your pet and wish to enjoy a meal in a nice restaurant or with a sea view, you may want to reconsider. There are many restricted areas for guests with pets so please be aware. During our stay, we were served breakfast on a small coffee table in the lounge, which was unpleasant experience as we had to eat on our laps. The room was extremely small, with no space to store a suitcase and lacked air conditioning. The staff were polite and attentive.

We recently got married at The Hydro and had the ceremony, afternoon and evening all at the hotel, the reason why is that the venue is fantastic and the staff are absolutely faultless. …
