Fodor's Review:

Charlie Chaplin loved it here. The rambling building—with a white, castellated corner tower—is a familiar landmark on the Ring. It has been in the same family for four generations, and the clientele returns year after year for the excellent fishing and golf facilities nearby and the proximity of long, sandy, windswept beaches. Many regulars like the smallish rooms in the old part of the hotel, which are neither smart nor chic. More spacious rooms, with streamlined decor and sensational sea views, can be had in a newer wing, and there are 12 junior suites. The rambling old lounges with open turf fires are comfortable places to relax and read or converse. Pros: charming old-world hotel, near beaches and village. Cons: village mainly a golfing and fishing center, dominated by all-male groups—limited nightlife, shopping, dining.
