Feedback about The Brunswick Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Brunswick is often praised for its cleanliness and many find it offers good value for money. Guests commonly enjoy the breakfast served with sea views from the big windows, and some appreciate the dog-friendly policy, including the sausage treat. While the clifftop garden is generally considered lovely, some guests have noted the music being played in the afternoon wasn't very relaxing.

Wonderful Stay and Excellent Hospitality

two swimming poolsreally good welcomelocal restaurantbreakfast variety
I was actually surprised by the two swimming pools. DJ's welcome was really good. The staff recommended a local restaurant. The atmosphere and overall hospitality were really good my expectations. I had a very comfortable room for a good night's sleep. I enjoyed the breakfast. The variety was great.
The indoor pool steps were a bit slippy.

I found the staff really friendly and ready to help with anything I needed. My breakfast was nice and featured a great cappuccino. Dogs even get a brekkie treat, which I thought was such a thoughtful touch!
The bathroom window did not have a blind. It seemed like people could see inside when it was dark. I also found three large spiders in my room, and the mugs were dusty.

broken shower sealbroken toilet seat
The room i booked, a standard double room, was not up to par. the shower seal was broken. Water spilled all over the bathroom floor after each use. the toilet seat was also broken. staffing seemed stretched thin, with breakfast staff also covering the reception. This affected service efficiency.
