We had a clean room, and unobstructed view of the sea, the room had no housekeeping daily, the first and last day we had a buffet breakfast, the second day it would appear that we had to order either with the cook or reception but we were not told of this, the third day the chef took our breakfast order.
Lovely room with see view. Very warm lucky had fan to use. Staff very friendly. Only negative looked like carpet could do with a good vacuum in some places, round windows and along skirting boards. Breakfast was plentiful in lovely surroundings. All in all nice hotel to spend our anniversary.
Staff very helpful and polite food nice bedroom a little bit cold beautiful hotel will definitely stay again recommend this hotel

The room was clean and great for our needs. The staff were attentive and very helpful, at reception, the bar and restaurant. The quality of the food was excellent.
The whole of the hotel was presentable. The staff were friendly and professional including dining room supervisor Laura and her staff, front of house manager Osge, receptionists Steph and Bianca. The food was excellent especially Christmas Day lunch. Thank you to the Cavendish for a brilliant week.

Courtesy on arrival was excellent
Room clean but hotel dated
Considering it was freezing outside the hotel was very warm
Breakfast was appalling, apple juice was rancid, bacon and sausage both had a taste of being cooked days before and reheated, completely inedible
If u forget Breakfast for the £42 cost of the room for the night it was fine
being cooked days before and reheated

Disliked: Cleanliness
The decor in the public areas looked a bit tired and unfinished. There were walls which needed touching up with paint. The toilets in the public areas were dirty. The service was good. Room was nice but the two single. Beds which had been put next to each other to. Make a double bed, were at different heights. There was no zero alcohols l beverages at the bar
Great stay at this lovely hotel. Very friendly staff comfortable room with great facilities. Would highly recommend a stay at this charming seafront hotel.
