I must congratulate every member of staff for the wonderful experience that guests enjoy at the Grand. My husband and me spent three nights there to celebrate our wedding anniversary on 21st July. From our arrival around 4pm on Friday until our departure on Monday morning, we enjoyed a relaxed and peaceful weekend. The hotel's location couldn't be bettered, and the service and dining were excellent. I can't find enough superlatives to describe how well we were served by everyone (including the room attendant) and how fabulous the food was, including the full English breakfast, which was perfect every time and the best we have eaten anywhere. As for the dinners we enjoyed, they were spectacular. We were both impressed that the menu was limited to a small variety of interesting and imaginative main courses, which meant that we knew whatever we chose would be excellent. And the mango tart dessert was exquisite. The conservatory dining room was a lovely place to enjoy a wonderful dinner, then sit back with a glass of your favourite tipple or a coffee and watch the sun go down over the sea - stunning! The ease of accessing the clean, sand beach was also great and made it easy to give in to temptation and go for a swim. And now for the (tiny) complaint - the tea made with the Dorset teabags was awful, not helped by the semi-skimmed milk. Perhaps the hotel could consider providing the choice of skimmed milk as well - a lot of people drink it these days! And my husband was disappointed that there was not a fridge in the room 😊 Notwithstanding the fridge, we are looking forward to returning to the Grand next year. This is very much a hotel for couples looking for a chilled and peaceful break, a perfect base from where to do as much or as little as you want.
