Grand location, right on the cliffs overlooking the beach and beachfront attractions. The Grand Hotel is Victorian era grandeur with charm but has seen better days. We found a bargain with some trade offs that were worth it for us.
All was fine with the breakfast and the evening meal as well. The single room was spacious so all good

Clean room,lovely sea view,friendly staff.only negative points were lager n cider was rubbish from the bar and parts of the building looking very tired. Overall enjoyed our stay and we will return.
Great stay as a solo traveller. The room was lovely and just the right size, well-equipped and with a beautiful sea view. The food was good with plenty of choice and the evening entertainment was a highlight. I checked in online beforehand but still had to queue for quite a while on arrival, which could have been better organised. Overall though, a brilliant first stay and I’d return.
Hotel is nice and staff ok
Bedroom cold draft though windows
Noise in bathroom from pipe when other members flush toilet
