Lovely stay on the waterfront - parking can be a little tricky to spot the entrance, but once located easy to access. Nice breakfast and great location.

Parking was an issue in the area nothing provided by the hotel as in scar parking pass. Also we were woken up in the early hours by other guests arriving home drunk and banging about in the room above

Very nice check in and help with bags. Room was too hot and by an extractor fan so very noisy all night. Shower ran cold for quite a while so 1st person had a cold shower and only warm for 2nd person.

Needs updating

Booked suite so got parking thank goodness. Room a bit dated. Good to have a fridge. Heating came on at 2.30am very annoying. Room was to hot. Window wouldn’t stay open. Bed very hard. Tv remote did not work. Menu at night awful when asked for advice on special pie just told in was meat. Breakfast was good. Would have liked filter coffee for the price.

Very small

Extremely Small. Everything from the stairway to the room was very small. Tiny, fragile bathroom. Barely enough room to walk around the bed.

Wirklich schöne Unterkunft direkt am Wasser

Das Einzelzimmer war neu renoviert und richtig schön! Das Zimmer hatte Meerblick. Ganz bemerkenswert war der „richtige“ Kaffee (kein InstantKaffee) im Zimmer. Den habe ich wirklich genossen! Das kontinentale Frühstück ist übersichtlich aber preiswert und in Ordnung. Ich war sehr zufrieden mit meiner Unterkunftswahl.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Disappointed

Staff busy not really bothered about hotel guests Waiting time for a food in restaurant 1h after one of member staff has explained We changed our mind and go somewhere else Place not adequate to price we paid Breakfast served continental when we paid for cooked full breakfast after first night Window in apartment dangerous falling down unexpected mind crushing fingers Nice view from window Good location
Dariusz, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

Poor

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.
Richard, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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
StarConverse**, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
