The guy that works as the security during late serving is very friendly and attentive, during normal hours the bar and restaurant are manned by happy and welcoming staff. This will come as a welcome relief to many staying here, as it is a great place to escape the local pillocks of Richmond, who don't seem to enter this place due to the presence of decent conversation and nice interior decor ..

We put Swinton Park on our "let's go back there someday" list - a very peaceful and relaxing get away.

A league of its own…read more I really enjoy nice hotels, its becoming a bit of a hobby to plan for the additional price of nice hotels into my get-a-way plans. This place was a fantastic discover and I cannot wait to come back! I haven't experienced this level of elegance or luxury in quite a while. It truly has the perfect mixture of modern innovation and convenience with the old style boutique feel. By modern convenience I'm talking spacious well decorated rooms, and TVs in your bathtub. A TV in your bath tub is exactly what you want when staying at a five star hotel, ha ha. My back deck opened onto immaculately groomed golf course grounds with a little table and chairs to enjoy the gorgeous morning I had there. There are three restaurants on the grounds and a cocktail bar, not too shabby! I loved the rooms in the old hall which have traditional influences, the drawing room, the morning room etc... BUT THE SPA IS AMAZING. Imagine a swimming pool sized hot tub with a water fountain in the middle and different stations with different style jets. dry hot rooms "Tropicarium", wet hot rooms, cold rooms, foot baths, lap swimming pool, whatever you want! great location to lay out and look over the grounds as well. Everything at this hotel feels plush and the service is dedicated to making sure you enjoy your stay. I was sincerely impressed by this place and call it among the best I've ever been!

I booked our accommodation online. Its location (ten minutes walk from the train station) is perfect, right on the Crescent Terrace on the West Cliff. Our room was the Classic Bay, spacious, light and comfortable with a great view of the North Sea. The owners, the Gallaghers, were gracious hosts, friendly and very accommodating of our requests and our needs (we left very early on our last morning, prior to breakfast, but they provided a very satisfying boxed meal. Breakfasts are a special treat, with a variety of choices, tasty food properly cooked and politely served by the attentive waitstaff. I should also mention that the price is quite competitive, also. For a three-night stay, they offer a discount of 5%, so ours was 95 pounds per night ($147). All in all, a real treat!!

This is a really difficult review for me. Honest Lawyer is really an American-style hotel rather…read morethan a B&B or a "charming old-fashioned" hotel... The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. I will also say that the restaurant had tasty dinner. The annoying parts of this stay unfortunately outweigh the positives in my mind. Firstly, the nice, quite room is basically completely Wi-fi proof. While they do offer free Wi-fi, I was unable to actually use it from my room - I had to either go outside, or back to the restaurant/lounge to connect. Second, while the dinner was pretty good, they ran out of cask-ale after my first pint, and didn't seem enthusiastic about changing the cask. Also, the dinner wasn't really a bargain. This dovetails in to the second issue I had with dining, which was the breakfast. It was a mediocre steam-tray buffet. It was not worth the £9.99 per person that they charge. Third, they don't have a business center - this isn't normally a huge deal, but I'd love to have been able to check in for my flight and print my boarding passes from the hotel, especially considering how troublesome their Wi-fi was. My overall summary of Honest Lawyer is really that it's about a 2-1/2 star experience. It's tolerable if you cannot find a B&B, but it really doesn't compare to a good B&B experience, and it's costly enough that it cannot realistically be called a bargain.

The bed was very comfy, lots of pillows, dark furniture, modern shower. Their breakfast was pretty good although the chef decided to discard my preference for scrabbled eggs and offered a simple fried one, just because ?? I did raise it to the waiting staff and he did remember my order and offered to correct it, but I was too hungry to wait :-) More eclectic options from the typical breakfast are also offered, like eggs Benedict, cooked per order, so I will definitely give them a try next time I'm around. It would be appreciated if they would provide in advance tips for accessing the wifi from a non-Windows device / Internet explorer rather than having to call their reception to troubleshoot it. Even in that scenario though, I still didn't manage to connect successfully from my room, luckily I could use the phone fine - 4G reception is strong within the centre. Last but not least: book your breakfast from the reception rather than at the restaurant on the spot: it's about £4 cheaper that way! Enjoy!!!
