4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2012 NEW

I have been with a group of people several times over the past few years and at each visit there has been some small yet tangible improvement over the previous stay. The licensed restaurant with very smart uniformed staff is more in keeping with a four* establishment and the menu is varied and suitable for most tastes. Bedrooms are varied... More

I have stayed at this hotel many times during the past twenty years, mainly when travelling on business. I cannot recommend it to highly, not only for the friendly welcome, but also for the comfort and beauty of the rooms. The food is always excellent and served professionally. I cannot speak too highly of this traditional family hotel.

We only bhad one dinner at the hotel and the food was let down by the lack of adventure in the vegetarian option (my wife is a vegetarian). Thsi was rather bland and appetizing. I... More

We stayed at the Lansdowne hotel- had had problems trying to use their website which wouldnt load properly, so we just arrived on the day and were offered a superior room with sea view at a lower rate of 105 pounds- room 328. Although a little tired, the room had 4 huge windows which all opened completely, so the view... More

I stayed at the Lansdowne for 2 nights at the end of March and had room 316 (superior sea view). I was impressed by the room size and decor - it was very nicely appointed and on the third floor with a nice view of gardens and the pier in the distance. Despite arriving 2 hours before normal check-in, my... More

Stayed here three times now, and as before it was a good nights stay - comfortable room - and, unlike some rooms in some hotels its got great lighting, you can actually read a book without sitting under the bedside lamp! The bar food is ok but the breakfast is one of the best you will get anywhere. If you... More

Arrived at late notice as another hotel had let us down. The hotel is right on the seafront and has parking spaces in the road right outside. You can get an all day parking permit for the road outside the hotel from reception for £1. Room 309 was a newly refurbished room on the top floor. Clean, spacious, warm (even... More

Room 224 I believe is one of the refurbished rooms with uninterrupted views of the sea. I found the room spacious and clean with a comfortable bed, not slept under blankets for quite some time though. The bathroom was compact with mouldy sealant apart from that it again was very clean. Flat screen tv with a selection of channels and... More

Thank you for your kind comments, however, I am sorry that you were disturbed by the sounds of other guests in their rooms. The hotel has been owned by the same family for 100 years and the building is somewhat older than that. The advantage of its age is the character it contains – the disadvantage is the noise from...
