Location

The Cavendish Hotel boasts a truly wonderful location directly opposite the beachfront. Guests rave about the stunning views from the full-sea-facing rooms and the ease of access to local restaurants and attractions. The rooms are nicely located and offer excellent value for money. The hotel is also centrally located, making it very convenient for visiting the town centre, pier and other local hotspots. The hotel had a classic appeal and a number of reviews cited the beautiful views and wonderful seafront location as major highlights of their stay. While some reviewers noted minor issues such as out-of-order lifts or some untidiness in the lobby area, these did not detract from the overall positive experience of staying in such a perfect location.

Breakfast

Guest reviews of the breakfast at the Cavendish Hotel are mixed with some praising the excellent quality and range of food, while others criticize the limited selection and lack of flavor. Some guests enjoyed the self-service breakfast which includes toast, cereal and a fried breakfast, while others found the buffet to be "cheap" and "tasteless". However, the location and service of the breakfast staff were highly regarded, as was the beautiful period dining room. Overall, the hotel offers a reasonable breakfast experience for those who enjoy a classic English breakfast, but guests should bear in mind that it comes at a fairly high cost.

Rooms

The Cavendish Hotel offers a mixed bag of room experiences according to reviews. While some guests complain of tired and dirty rooms, others rave about the spaciousness and comfort of their accommodations. The bathrooms also receive varying reviews with some guests finding them dirty and in need of repair while others describe them as fairly new and of good size. However, those lucky enough to have a sea-facing room seem to have better overall experiences with excellent views being a standout feature. The hotel's location is convenient, but the exterior is in need of some TLC and parking is not always perceived as safe. Staff are described as friendly and helpful, while the hotel's lounge is noted as stylishly decorated. In summary, the Cavendish Hotel offers basic hotel rooms that can be hit or miss, but those with a sea view are a particular highlight.

However, they do offer free Wi-Fi in the hotel foyer. Some guests were disappointed that they had to pay for Wi-Fi per device and felt that internet should be included in the room rate. The lack of reliable internet caused some guests to feel disconnected, but others did not have any issues with the WiFi during their stay.

Parking

Accessible

The Cavendish Hotel received mixed reviews when it comes to accessibility for guests with disabilities. Some guests were pleased with the size and cleanliness of their room, including the shower. However, other guests found certain aspects of the hotel difficult to manage, such as the absence of a functioning lift or the difficult-to-use service lift that was dirty and unreliable. Some guests noted that the hotel's features, such as low mirrors and lack of toiletry shelf, made it harder to manage their disability. Additionally, the hotel's check-in and check-out times may not suit everyone with a late check-in of 4 pm and an early check-out of 10 am (although this can be extended for a fee). Overall, those travelling with limited mobility or in a wheelchair should be aware of the challenges they may face at this hotel.
