Food, lodgings and staff were all incredible. If I return I would request a room on the other side of the property as the generator noise kept me up at night

"The boathouse is such a lovely and peaceful place, away from the hustle and bustle of the busier seaside resorts. It offers the best of both worlds. Despite being a popular venue for weddings, the music was kept at a low volume and we couldn't hear anything from room 6, so we had a really good night's sleep. My two children had a blast at the little play park, and the breakfast was absolutely delightful. The room rates were reasonable, and our overall experience was just lovely. Thank you!"

One night stay

This was a quick night away - lovely setting and friendly staff, food good. Room was slightly tired - a coat of paint and the holes where old shelving had been would put right.
