Het is een leuk hotel. We hadden een goede kamer met uitzicht over de zee. Het ontbijt was prima en het diner was goed. Wel is de zaal wat onpersoonlijk en groot. W ik zouden hier graag terugkomen

We received an upgrade to the seafront apartment which was amazing - fantastic accommodation complete with a large balcony overlooking the sea. The proximity to the beach for all the accommodation was brilliant though.

5 star seaside B&B

I can't recommend enough this great pub B&B. The staff are all so friendly and professional. We arrived at a really busy time over Xmas and I was surprised the manager immediately took us up to our room rather than just hand us the keys. The food was excellent and the service top notch. The location right by the beach is amazing and so easy to get anywhere you need to be. The breakfast in the morning was again top notch and the coffee was delicious A big thank you to everyone at The Waterfront Inn and I hope to stay again in the summer

Stayed here for a couple of nights over a long weekend and was very impressed. The rooms are very nice, clean and well decorated, accessed via a small flight of stairs around the back, away from any noise of the pub main building. Plenty of guest car parking, very good food and drinks at decent prices and friendly helpful staff. would stay here again and recommend to others. Excellent choice form the breakfast menu and it was all good.
