A very 'Grand' hotel indeed. Sat on the seafront with great views. We had a Sunday Roast and it was delicious. It was excellent value for money (2 courses for £24.95) and the quantity and quality of the food was excellent. The waiting staff very very helpful and friendly. The restaurant had a unique style, although quite dark inside it had a sea theme. The toilets were immaculate. I will definitely be returning in the future.

Phenomenal afternoon tea! Service was warm friendly and attentive, and we were made to feel very special. The food was delicious and the gluten free options in particular were great. The room the afternoon tea is served in is beautiful with views out to the sea. It was a lovely afternoon with impeccable attention to detail from staff. Thanks so much and we look forward to returning soon.

Loved the Grand Hotel. 25th wedding anniversary, and they looked after us a treat. We had an upgrade to sea view, which was amazing. The rooms are really big, they left wine and chocolate strawberries. All amenities , mini fridge , tea and coffee, robes, and slippers. The bathroom was also full of lotions and washes . Plenty of towels. We had breakfast included and couldn't fault it. There was a lot of selection to cater to everyone.They even gave us a free Bucks Fizz. So polite I felt really refreshed and very well looked after. Can't wait to go again.
