Find all hotels by Independent in Thornton Dale

"A fabulous location overlooking the cliffs. The majority of the hotel has been modernised, with a luxuriant feel that includes an excellent bar. There are some stairwells and corridors that are yet to catch up that feel very tired and a little shabby in places, but it looked like work was in hand to sort this out. There is very limited parking to book and a small overflow that gives reasonable rates, but you'd need to arrive early to get a space. We opted for a non-sea view room and it was nicely decorated with a huge, comfortable bed and modern bathroom. The staff were superb in all areas, as was the breakfast. "

"Breakfast was a highlight. Unfortunate there was still substantial construction. Sunday menus disappointing . Staff excellent who resolved a hiccup quickly and courteosly. Rooms comfortable. "

"It’s a shame. Such a beautiful, classic building and the Britannia group skimping on the most basic things, and milking the nostalgic place for every penny they can get before moving on. Sea view room was worthless with the months of not years of grime and dirt on the windows. Carpets that may never have known true modern amenities such as vacuum cleaners… just so sad. "

"We upgraded from our initial shoebox room, which were surprised to have been allocated, as we had our dog with us and there was no room even for his basket! Our upgraded, sea view room was excellent. Good to have a hotel that supplies hair conditioner aswell as shampoo as most only supply a shampoo that strips the hair of all moisture. Good sized mugs, but flimsy plastic cups for the bathroom were disappointing. All staff were very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Very limited, seemingly unmarshalled car park in the street behind the hotel. Could be a problem parking from spring to autumn. "

"Amazingly equipped kitchen. Everything spotless. Cosy beds. Lashings of hot water. The place was lovely and pleasantly warm, the the interiors were a delight."

"Tired and in need of care and refurbishment. Parking limited and not easy access. Room showing signs of damp in bathroom. Entry door damaged and needed repair to gain access. Plus side hot water supply very good. Staff friendly and helpful. Disappointed after good cooked breakfast at the weekend Monday morning continental breakfast, which consisted of dry, stale mini croissants and pain au chocolat, no chese or cold meats(available at the weekend) and hot drinks machine not working. "
