We were disappointed with the lack of hot water in the dinning room. The water in the urn was tepid .......so a decent cup of tea or coffee was impossible. In addition of the three bananas in the fruit bowl only one was edible. The other 2 were excessively over ripe.

The hotel was nice and comfortable and furnishings modern. the bed was extremely comfortable. The outside bar area overlooking the tidal estuary was lovely. We had an evening meal the first night of our stay that was delicious and reasonably priced. The location is great and extremely handy for public transport. The railways station is literally next door and that is how we travelled. Only a couple of things to be aware of, the access stairs to the upstairs rooms are narrow and extremely steep.

As many people said previously no free parking on site unless you stay in suite i had a great single room overlooking the sea which is unusual for a single quality of food was excellent & all staff were very accommodating & on leaving the person on reception carried my bags to the car a glass of wine was the most money i've paid ever i would come back

Remote carpark expensive at £15-40 for 24 hours. No pavement to the town for some distance. Hotel not very clean - dirty floor and table. Paintwork needed attention particularly in the reception area. Food average, drinks expensive. Room service non existent. Staff pleasant and helpful. The whole place needs an internal refurbishment.

Good and bad

The room was fine. Very clean. Sea view. We couldn't get the shower to work so used the bath instead. We opted to take breakfast which was a great disappointment. The self serve buffet had no cups, saucers, spoons, bowls or yoghurt and just 2 croissants left at 9am. The toast machine was broken. The menu was confusing (egg on toast option included the buffet breakfast, but very small pale print so hard to read). Staff member blithely admitted it wasn't very good and didn't charge us in the end. Also said it was good we opted not to eat there the previous evening as they were busy with one and a half hour wait for food. Shame the food lets it all down.

Room 12 is a good size with lovely views alas it’s in the roof and no lift. Staircase very steep. No breakfast as they didn’t have a chef!! Not particularly well run. I’d emailed them twice but they never reply. There is no hotel car park and the hotel is a 15 minute walk to the beach.

Pretty big rooms, good food, friendly staff. You need to be at breakfast as early as possible though, the baked goods are out quickly sometimes. Still really good overall

We have been wanting to visit this hotel for years and were amazed that a Saturday night was free, with a sea-view room..and the weather was to be glorious. Granted early check-in; bright room, clean and modern, well decorated. Manager even let us park our m'cycle directly opposite, just off the road. This would have been an excellent stay if we'd eaten elsewhere. Evening meal was poor by any standard (very restricted options-no burgers/steak/flat breads) and what arrived 1hr later was only eaten because we were very hungry. Breakfast was dire for me and my partner kindly donated 1/3 of her omelette to save me complaining. We felt for the staff because they obviously do long hours and the heatwave must have affected things in the kitchen. I have tried to give a true reflection of our experience and I tend to give 5* or write no review at all, however I will be emailing the hotel regarding the degree to which we felt let down.
