Good location, quite nice hotel, service good. Gym satisfactory. Small room and towel rail belting out heat made for an uncomfortable night. Asked staff to correct next morning but nothing was done! Nice ambience in bar at the end of the night but bar full of dirty glasses like Ive never seen before!

We stayed in a lodge suite. Room was a good size and bed was comfortable. Bath not full size and shower curtain a nightmare. Rail brings shower curtain diagonally across bath which leaves little room to manoeuvre without getting wrapped up! Sliding door to bathroom left little to the imagination! Breakfast superb. Service excellent. Nice quiet location close to everything.

Had such a lovely time at this hotel. Nothing was ever too much for the staff, they were all so friendly and really made me feel welcome. The food was delicious from the breakfast through to dinner and the portions were always very generous and the brasserie is beautifully decorated and has a lovely atmosphere. The selection at the bar is particularly impressive. The spa facilities were lovely really enjoyed being able to go for a swim and sauna before breakfast each day.

Great location very close to the beach and the town centre. Will definitely be going back and will take the family with me next time. Big thank you to the wonderful reception and restaurant staff for making me feel so welcome.

Good hotel, nice swimming pool, sauna and jacuzzi.but missing some hangers. in swimming pool. Room decent size, a lot of towels, there is kettle and hair dryer. Need to put some roof in the garden, if you are smoking during the rain. Carpet in dining room need some refreshing. General impression is very good.

I was looking forward to speaking to a member of staff today regarding booking in for a treatment and use of their spa facilities, especially as the lady I spoke to yesterday said they could probably do a good deal for us with it being Mums birthday treat. Unfortunately they are robots wanting money, all following one set policy, and are not willing to go the extra mile for customers. I have been to many places including hotels where they have excellent customer service and the words 'we don't' or 'we can't' are not frequently said. They try to help instead. Customer service is what gets them their reviews so their loss really.

Our Son and Daughter in Law had their Wedding at The Connaught Hotel yesterday. It was a fantastic day in every aspect. As regards the Hotel and arrangement of the wedding, everything was faultless. The way that the rooms were dressed for the Ceremony, the Wedding Breakfast and then the evening disco was fantastic. The food was delicious and well presented with good wines to accompany the food. The garden/courtyard is a nice setting for photographs.

My Wife and I stayed overnight and our room was clean with attractive decor and good en-suite shower facilities. The full English breakfast with a choice of Continental Breakfast and/or cereals was also very good. All of the staff were excellent at every level. Highly recommended for a Wedding or just a stay!
