Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Brudenell offers many guests a memorable experience, particularly with its inspiring location featuring wonderful sea views, easily accessible from bedrooms and the residents lounge. The restaurant stands out with fresh fish options available daily and a cooked-to-order breakfast featuring dishes such as Eggs Royale, complemented by a plentiful buffet.

Cocktails are amazing and should not be missed.
