Good Hotel Guide Review

Readers ‘felt they had done their very best to look after us’, after a week-long stay at this Georgian mansion. It stands in landscaped gardens overlooking the North Sea. It has been lavishly made over in a style that some find ‘bizarre’, but ‘that’s a matter of taste’. A Garden Suite, although ‘really a large room whose windows open on to an external seating area’ (with hot tub), had an ‘enormous, very comfortable bed’, lighting controls so sophisticated that ‘in a week we barely mastered them’ (but did get decent reading light). The Ada Lovelace Suite, with twin slipper baths in the window, nods to the hall once hosting the wedding of her parents, Lord Byron and Anne Isabella Millbanke. A portrait of Byron in Albanian dress hangs on the dining room wall, where Damian Broom’s appealing menus include poached day-boat fish, girolles, broad beans, shrimps, elderflower. Near the spa, guests can eat Ozone’s pan-Asian dishes, ‘mainly curries and stir-fries, done very competently’. ‘We were the only customers not in bathrobe and slippers.’ Breakfast brings a ‘wide, imaginative’ choice. The young staff manifest ‘infectious enthusiasm, a genuine desire to please’. (Andrew Wardrop). This hotel is also a member of Pride of Britain.
