I took my three young children to the Grand at the weekend and it was great. Lots of free goodies for the kids and great indoor and outdoor pools. We spent 3 hours in the outdoor pool, in May!!! Would recommend to any family (plus milk and cookies at bedtime)

Right on the Seafront a short walk to the pier......from the moment you arrive Valet parks your car for you...Shown to reception and taken to your room...your holiday starts. Can not fault hotel....(floorboads a bit old a creaky) not as cool as the RITZ but very close for half the price.

We had Afternoon Tea at the Grand and it was a real treat.

The tea was excellent, tasty sandwiches and cakes, tea, coffee and very good wine. We had a 360-mile round trip for the funeral and found ourselves... More

We stayed at the Grand in May 2012 part of my year of celebrations for a special birthday. From we arrived in the car park we were made to feel like we were the most special people in the hotel. We were made incredibily welcome by all staff. We had afternoon tea while there which was absolutely delicious, drinks in... More

All the staff were courteous, kind and friendly - nothing was too much trouble. The health club was immaculate, The food was top notch with first rate service. The hotel was very child friendly. It is a credit to the British Travel Industry. I thoroughly recommend it
