Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Livermead House Hotel enjoys a convenient location right across from the sea, with spacious public areas and a nice outdoor pool. The hotel's restaurant is considered excellent, offering what some describe as fine dining with great four-course menus. While the main areas have a rustic feel, rooms are fairly modern; however, a few guests have noted that some bathrooms could use an update. For a special occasion, the venue can provide a beautiful cake.

mixed feelings about my stay

shriveled mushrooms broken furniture
The location is right across from the sea. It's quite convenient.
The breakfast was really disappointing. There was no granola, berries, or oats. the mixed fruit bowl was almost empty. The cooked breakfast was not good with shriveled mushrooms and dry egg. the outdoor furniture was stained and some pieces were broken.

Excellent Seaside Stay

spacious area outdoor pool ample parking
The staff offered really good service. They always addressed my needs. The hotel's public areas seemed quite spacious, especially the lounge. I enjoyed the outdoor pool. Parasols were available near the seating area. The hotel provided ample parking spaces, a definite advantage.
I noticed some areas looked a bit dated and could use some refurbishment.
