Thank you SO much to the wonderful staff for a wonderful stay at The Grand. Special thanks to receptionist Helen, so helpful and who very kindly upgraded us for our second night. We loved our seaview room and going to sleep to the sound of the sea. Also special thanks to lovely 'smiling' Marnie who served us at breakfast each morning. Marnie was a true delight, so friendly and efficient. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. A great selection of cooked dishes, made to order and served to your table.
The hotel itself is a beautiful grade II listed building with THE most marvellous sweeping staircase. The hotel truely meets its name!
We look forward to a return visit.
