Great room, and an amazing setting. Only things stopping it getting that perfect rating are the food (evenings) which is not great, not terrible but could be much better. And the bar which at times can be lifeless.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The check in was quick and easy, the room was superb and plenty big enough with a writing desk, coffee table and chairs and a superb bathroom complete with a bath. I dined in the evening, the food was first class, as was the service. Breakfast was also excellent. One minor criticism is that an omelette was the same price as a full English. I had that as I wasn't hungry enough for a full fry up but didn't want continental. Parking outside is also problematic. There is some short term parking very close but the main car park is a few minutes walk away and 'pay and display' so the cost of that needs to be factored in to the overall cost of a night stay. Overall I would recommend it and be happy to stay there again.

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.

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.
