The place feels a bit shabby in parts, especially the swimming pool area, but the staff are awesome and the sea view rooms are worth the upgrade. The place is ideal if you're arriving by train as it's right next door!

This is the place to be if you arrive by train and no better base for the Agatha Christie Festival or anything at Torre Abbey. The walk along the waterfront is elegant and safe, even at night. The staff are wonderful and if you like good, old-fashioned service and a traditional English breakfast, you will love it. The pool, bar and lounges are spacious and comfortable and the rooms are clean.

We are frequent visitors to the Grand,and it has not changed much over the years We always think that a great saving could be made by the owners if the daytime heating was turned down. The rooms are stifling, you could grow tropical plants in the bedrooms.

Location is amazing - right by the station, the beach and the festival we were attending. Hotel bar is gorgeous but swimming pool area needs some attention and more loungers. Rooms at the top of the hotel are incredibly hot but a fan is provided (we only found that the next morning!). Staff are super friendly and helpful.
