Mark, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was above a function for a wedding so was noisy all night and during the night. Bathroom door just slide across so not very private. Breakfast was limited, so they cooked some fresh but left the original on the plate and we had to ask to keep it warm. The second morning the freshly cooked food was just tipped on top of the older food in the warmer plates.

Perfect location for what we needed. Would definitely stay again!
Justin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very lovely staff, clean rooms and convenient location. Great basic gym and the spa facilities were an added luxury. The only negative was the breakfast - the toaster was set on so hing it burned the toast in one round and the healthy fresh options were non-exixtent. The breakfast is not worth paying for for any plant-based people.

Amanda, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Over the years my family and I have stayed here many times and I’m happy to say that the high standards we have previously experienced, are ongoing. Excellent staff, great facilities and a fantastic breakfast. Sadly we didn’t get a chance to use the pool and leisure facilities due to our own busy schedule, but next time we will be sure to plan less and do more! Keep up the good work all at the Connaught.
David, 1-night trip

Lovely hotel close to the beach

We had a lovely 4 night stay. Staff were very friendly, polite and knowledgeable of the area. Situated near the beach, it was about 2 min walk to the beach and another 5 mins to the pier. We used the pool and facilities which were nice and clean. Breakfast was lovely and staff quick and attentive to clear dishes away.
