We were greeted in the lobby as we arrived for afternoon tea, which we thought was a nice touch.
We were offered a variety of teas and coffees before a plate of crustless sandwich fingers was served, along with a warm sausage slice and filo parcels. My husband is coeliac and on a gluten free diet, his sandwiches and warm sausage roll was served separately. We didn't feel rushed and the staff were friendly and helpful. Warm fruit and plain scones clotted cream and jam came next, the gluten free ones were particularly tasty, as these can be difficult to make. Lastly came a cakestand with a variety of cakes, tarts, mini desserts and pastries. Again, the gluten free ones were very good and served on a separate cake stand You could have as much tea/coffee throughout the afternoon. We were given a box to bring home the leftover cakes and pastries. The whole afternoon was most enjoyable and we could not fault a thing. It was particularly nice not having the whole afternoon tea served at the same time, having time between "courses" . The Palm Pavilion was warm with fantastic views over the sea. Definitely will visit again.

Although the hotel is slightly tired, the room was comfortable, nice and toasty. What made my trip most enjoyable was the staff, particularly David (the GM). He was friendly, welcoming and checked on me while I worked in the lounge area.
The following morning, Sarah (the owner) looked after me very well at breakfast. And the view from the dining room was lovely.
I would stay here again when I next visit the area for work.

Celebrated two family members birthdays over two Sundays at the Crescent Turner. On both occasions we had the 3 course menu which is incredibly good value at £25.00. The staff are always so attentative or the food is just incredible. The view from the palm pavilion restaurant is spectacular. All the family were incredibly impressed with the location, food and service. It cannot be faulted.
As a little tip, order the cinnamon creme brule if its on the menu. It is to die for.
