Booked a weekend break,on arrival we were told that we were not even booked in however the lady on reception found us a room.Evening meal was OK but service was slow.There were a couple of factors I took up with the new manager and was impressed with his compassion and understanding from a customer point of view. They have big plans for the hotel in the future, we will be returning later in the year.
We pitched up at the Chadwick unexpectedly and more or less by accident, having discovered that the original hotel we had booked for our weekend away had actually closed down without warning. We were fortunate that the Chadwick had a room available.
If you're looking for a contemporary, boutique hotel with high-fashion touches and an "exclusive" clientele, then look away now. But if on the other hand you want good old-fashioned hospitality at a reasonable price, with good food and friendly staff, then this is the place for you. The Chadwick is very much in the tradition of English seaside hotels and we loved it. Judging by the large number of regularly-returning fellow guests we spoke to, we're not the only ones to feel that way.
Our room may have looked as though the fittings and fixtures had been installed in the 1980s, but it was all clean, the room was spacious and had everything we needed. We found it a bit on the hot and stuffy side so we opened the windows.
We ate in the bar both nights. No nouvelle cuisine here, just honest, tasty meals at good prices. All the better for it.
And every member of staff that we came into contact with was unfailingly helpful, friendly and courteous. In fact, there was a good family atmosphere and general camaraderie between staff and guests.
In short, I'm glad our original hotel let us down because we really enjoyed our stay at the Chadwick and we may well return at some point.
We stayed for three nights and were lucky to get a room at the front with sweeping view of the sea and beds which were outstandingly comfortable, the bathroom was small but adequate, the room was equiped with all the amenities one would expect and was well serviced. We were late arriving and were pleased to find the restaurant still open and had a very reasonable meal with good service. Breakfast was large and well well cooked. There is a small Spa, comprising a small but adequately equiped gym, a sauna, a steam room, amd a small pool with jacussi, all of which where clean and functioned well. Happy to say there were no adverse comments
Pleasant atmosphere and staff. Location was ideal for my trip and within easy walking distance of local facilities and a stones throw from the beach. The room was clean and tidy and fitted out well with air con, trouser press and hair dryer etc. Wi-Fi was very good throughout which meant I could keep up with the world. I didn't try the swimming pool or gymnasium but they looked OK
Niggly things that bug me mainly. Car parking on the property was a challenge due to lack of space however parking on the surrounding roads is possible. How this month (February) would compare to high season I cannot say. Towels were missing from the room and those that did appear were not bath towels and the batteries in the TV remote were dead. I only had the one evening meal in the dining room and although was pleasant enough, it wasn't worth the price paid. Bar meals were better, however serving each element in a seperate dish or container may look nice to some but for me it's very annoying. Put it all on one plate, I want to eat it not hang it on the wall! Breakfast is a mix of self service cereals\toast and hot plated food. Special requests such as veg sausage and poached eggs can be ordered. The standard of food is akin to a works canteen. Edible but nothing special. Not as homely as I usually get from some Pub Inns I stop at is probably the best way to describe it.

Nice hotel on St Anne's Promanade, lovely food and lovely service. Room was at the back of the hotel and a little small but lovely and warm when we turned the radiator on. Only downsize was the bathroom, it was cold and had no curtain at the window and shower water went everywhere, the floor was soaked. But all in all a bargain for 2 nights B & B and 3 course evening meals including tea or coffee.
