    No showers only baths with shower over, makes it difficult if you have a disability- would benefit from fitting some rooms with well in showers.

    The view was amazing, staff friendly, rooms were clean

    Someone was either playing music or had their television on very loud late into the night. But hotel isn't really responsible for inconsiderate guests

    Great location, lovely setting. Reception staff lovely. Room was large and airy. Always love staying there

    The hotel is a little dated but very clean and in a great location, we would stay again.

    • Self-Catering Two Bedroom Estuary View Level Apartment
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The mattresses were a little uncomfortable and felt a little too well used, and the pool lacked any decent lighting making it feel unwelcoming even though the changing rooms were very clean and the showers excellent. There was no walk in showers only over bath showers which were unsuitable for our elderly mother so we had to take her along to the showers in the pool changing rooms. Not ideal.

    We had an apartment attached to the hotel, it was spacious, very clean and had everything we needed for a self catering long weekend away. The heaters worked efficiently and quickly for chilly nights, and there was plenty of hot water. There was a TV in each bedroom so we could all do our own thing. The wifi was good. The apartment had a small terrace and faced the estuary which was absolutely wonderful. We had a very minor problem with the kitchen equipment and the hotel receptionist sorted it immediately.

    Unfortunately the pool was closed during my stay (which I was not told about till arrival) and the sauna was not well kept so didn’t use it even though I had planned a spa/ hiking break. The bed was lumpy

    Lovely property in perfect a location! Very tasty breakfast and plenty of options for food / drink during the day. Spa treatments were nice and relaxing and the room was comfortable with a beautiful view

    These are only minor issues! TV remote was a challenge. Some functions did not operate as expected. Fixed shower head difficult for shampooing ladies' hair, but otherwise a good shower experience. Tea and coffee machines good, but not very tasty coffee. Socket for charging devices not conveniently available.

    Location. Comfort. Fabulous view from conservatory. Staff were very good.

    Rooms are a tad dated and tired. Carpets were filthy, bed creaked, no plug sockets by bed (phones are used as an alarm clock).

    Location, beautiful by the estuary. Breakfast was also delicious. Staff were friendly and even called to check we hadn’t left an item behind.

    Was told the day before our booking that the pool was open and at 25 degrees. I contact hotel to ask if discount would be given as pool too cold to use. We were told they are pumping hot water into The pool so it would heat up over weekend. When we got there Saturday afternoon the pool was still 25 degrees and too cold to use. Very disappointed as we would have booked elsewhere knowing we couldn’t use the pool. No offer For the inconvenience this caused us

    Nice property, comfortable throughout and beautiful views

    The decor is showing it age, some areas in the room need to be looked at, the grout and seals around the bath/shower and the window had a broken seal that you could feel a draft through when the curtain were not drawn. But for the price I will be happy to book again

    The location to where we needed to be was spot on. The room view was exceptional. A good choice of eateries and the food was very good even with allergies. The staff were so friendly and always smiling, when we asked for a bath mat to be changed it was done quickly. We were giving our room when we arrived but when we got there we were told it had failed the inspection and they moved us to a different room, this is good to see.
