We loved The Victoria for so many reasons: its stunning location, beautiful building, excellent facilities, and the professional yet genuinely friendly staff. The hotel sits at the top of the town on a hill, overlooking the beautiful beach and iconic red cliffs. The front lawn features a fantastic pitch-and-putt course, perfect for pre-dinner drinks and a bit of friendly competition. During our stay, we also enjoyed the tennis courts, spa, and outdoor pool. The outdoor pool is absolutely stunning, with a Mediterranean feel created by its whitewashed walls, beautiful plants, and colourful flowers. We were lucky enough to have fantastic weather during our visit, which certainly added to the atmosphere. The bar and games room have everything you could want, including pool, table tennis, table football, a Wii, magazines, and newspapers. The waiter service was exceptional, bringing drinks and bar food directly to our sunbeds, which felt wonderfully indulgent. Breakfast was a refreshing change from the usual buffet style. It was a traditional full-service breakfast with excellent bacon and sausages, all enjoyed while overlooking the beachfront and town. The spa and gym are on the smaller side, but both are well equipped, with towels and flip-flops provided. I also had a Hydra Glow facial, which was sublime. Without exaggeration, it was probably the best facial I've ever had. I genuinely can't speak highly enough of The Victoria Hotel. Everything about our stay was exceptional, and it made me proud to be enjoying such a wonderful English seaside hotel. It was also lovely to find that many of the staff were English, adding to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. We would happily return and highly recommend The Victoria to anyone looking for a relaxing coastal getaway.

“Another great holiday”

This was our ninth visit to the Victoria and, as always, they did not disappoint us in any aspect. Love this hotel and ALL the people who work so very hard there to make our stay memorable.

“Traditional customer service, friendly staff, relaxing environment”

The quality of the dining experience was excellent. The staff were friendly and professional. The hotel has old world grandeur and is in a lovely location with exceptional sea views.

“Average Sunday Lunch”

A group of us went for Sunday lunch. We started with a drink in the bar. Our drinks sat on the bar for so long that we had to go and get them! I chose the salmon starter which was nice though the croute was difficult to cut. The Roast Pork was clearly not cut from a joint, the vegetables were poor… more

A group of us went for Sunday lunch. We started with a drink in the bar. Our drinks sat on the bar for so long that we had to go and get them! I chose the salmon starter which was nice though the croute was difficult to cut. The Roast Pork was clearly not cut from a joint, the vegetables were poor and the potatoes were not crispy. Service in the restaurant was good, but we struggled to get coffee in the lounge. It was not up to the usual standard.
