A Lovely Traditional Hotel.
We chose the Duke of Cornwall because of its more apparent traditional style over many other places. We weren’t disappointed. We found the hotel as expected and it suited our needs. A couple of observations would be that some of the furnishings were a bit tired and the step up into the bath to use the shower would be too high if someone had mobility issues. We would definitely use the Duke. Of Cornwall again.

Good classic hotel
Hotel was ok for price. My only issue would be the shower that was operated by two mixer taps and almost impossible to get the temperature right.

Old hotel
Two rooms booked and were different ends of hotel - one had sea view- one poor disappointing view. Rooms were good size and clean but very cold as radiators hardly came on. We were on fifth floor and water took a while to come through warm.
Queue for reception as only one person on
Limited bar choice but a good breakfast and staff were pleasant in all areas
