Operated by the Harbour Hotels Collectionsince March 2010, reinventing the Great British seaside with four-star waterside retreatsacross the south coast, there will be a multi million pound investment into this landmark Hotel. Currently boasting five Hotels across the Devon, Dorset and Cornwall coastline, the Harbour Hotels Collection continues to go from strength to strength.

With everyone extremely excited about the refurbishment plans, the project has now been approved. Commencing October 2011, the project will complete early Summer 2012, with an end product that can be enjoyed bynew and regular visitors to the Hotel for generations to come.

With big plans for on-going growth, we are always on the lookout for unique and stunning waterside hotels to add to our Harbour Hotels Collection. ”
