Friendly staff good choice at breakfast. Ordered hot breakfast from your table which was lovely to be waited on. Room spacious. Hotel handy for walking into town and on the beach. Lovely view of the beech from the hotel room. There was limited parking at the hotel but we got a space each time.

Weekend away.

2 night stay, very good breakfast, we has room on 2 nd floor, warm and quiet. Room had double bed, which seemed small, room could have easily accommodated a king size bed. Room was very clean and recently refurbished and was generally comfortable with 2 easy chairs and a desk chair. We had a room at the rear, not a sea view, but the rear looked over the estuary as was more interesting. We ate in the hotel restaurant and felt it was quite average. We’d stay here again.
