Over the years my family and I have stayed here many times and I’m happy to say that the high standards we have previously experienced, are ongoing. Excellent staff, great facilities and a fantastic breakfast. Sadly we didn’t get a chance to use the pool and leisure facilities due to our own busy schedule, but next time we will be sure to plan less and do more! Keep up the good work all at the Connaught.

Amazing value for a twin room including breakfast and parking on site. Room was small but clean and comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It was less than a 10 minute walk to the BIC. The breakfast buffet was good; all the usual fare: pastries, yoghurts, bread, cheese, ham, fruit, cereal, and cooked breakfast.
