Our wedding

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 29 Mar 2022
If you are looking for a venue for your wedding, then look no further than the Connaught. From start to finish we were made to feel special and nothing was too much trouble. The staff are amazing - so friendly, so helpful. The Brasserie was an excellent venue - we had the service, wedding breakfast and evening reception in there. Outside the enclosed garden was a lovely space for the drinks reception after the service and for photos. In addition you are just a few minutes walk from the sea, with lots to see and do for young and old alike.

Had such a lovely time at this hotel. Nothing was ever too much for the staff, they were all so friendly and really made me feel welcome. The food was delicious from the breakfast through to dinner and the portions were always very generous and the brasserie is beautifully decorated and has a lovely atmosphere. The selection at the bar is particularly impressive. The spa facilities were lovely really enjoyed being able to go for a swim and sauna before breakfast each day. Great location very close to the beach and the town centre. Will definitely be going back and will take the family with me next time. Big thank you to the wonderful reception and restaurant staff for making me feel so welcome.

Lovely hotel , friendly staff, good facilities , warm and comfortable and relaxing will be back at some point over the coming months . Would be nice to make full use of spa facilities next time and have a facial or a massage as it was fully booked this time .

Our Son and Daughter in Law had their Wedding at The Connaught Hotel yesterday. It was a fantastic day in every aspect. As regards the Hotel and arrangement of the wedding, everything was faultless. The way that the rooms were dressed for the Ceremony, the Wedding Breakfast and then the evening disco was fantastic. The food was delicious and well presented with good wines to accompany the food. The garden/courtyard is a nice setting for photographs. My Wife and I stayed overnight and our room was clean with attractive décor and good en-suite shower facilities. The full English breakfast with a choice of Continental Breakfast and/or cereals was also very good. All of the staff were excellent at every level. Highly recommended for a Wedding or just a stay!

Food amazing, staff lovely, location great.
However, we upgraded to a suite then when we got there it was as given away to someone else. Upgraded to next room and was very disappointed. Very dated! It also had a bad odour.
The shower drain and sink in bathroom were both blocked. The shower drain had lots of hair in it. Pillows were terrible too
We went for a swim and the pool area was not clean!! The glass windows around the pool were barely see-through!
Definitely saved by the lovely staff and amazing food!

Excellent location, a five minute walk from the promenade and beautiful beaches.
Ideally located for our visit to the BIC.
Our room was clean and the bed was very comfortable but the bathroom was quite dated.
Tea and coffee making in the room.
A good sized swimming pool and leisure facilities.
Parking is available on site, but the car park is quite cramped and was busy.
Parking is payable at £8, but is free if you book direct with the hotel.
Lots of places to eat and drink nearby.

Room tip: Book direct with hotel for free parking.
