With 86 five‑star rooms and suites, the property offers seamless blends of Victorian grandeur and contemporary luxury, featuring sweeping Atlantic views, a sophisticated five‑bubble spa, and a six‑pool Aqua Club. Whether you choose a sea‑view suite, cosy room, or one of the picturesque cottages, you’ll be treated to impeccable service, indulgent amenities, and the warm, relaxed atmosphere that has kept guests returning for over a century. Beyond the room‑level experience, the hotel boasts award‑winning restaurants – including RenMor with its Michelin‑starred dishes and the elegant Terrace – and a host of leisure activities from spa treatments to surf‑watching along the cliffside promenade. Personalised concierge service, dog‑friendly policy, and access to on‑site facilities such as the Aqua Club and three‑pool system mean you can create a bespoke holiday tailored to family, couples, or solo travellers.
