Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room that we stayed in had converted shop windows as the 'wall' separating us from the street. This provided zero noise reduction from the crowd of people standing outside the next door pub which was constant until after the pub closed. Not only was it extremely noisy, it also felt very unsafe with only a pane of glass separating our bedroom from a crowd of rowdy drunk people in the street, and we were not able to relax all night and got zero sleep. I am shocked and appalled that a hotel inspector would allow this property to use this as a bedroom! It is the WORST hotel room I have ever stayed in! The sad thing is, the room and property itself was very nice and had we stayed in a room with 4 walls, I have no doubt that we would have had a different experience. Manager was very cooperative when we complained but since the hotel was full, it wasnt possible to move rooms, which really would have been the only solution. We wont be returning.

We were a little late arriving so we had to check in at the bar which was super loud next to our room. I wish we'd have known our room was on the street next to the bar's front door because loud people were coming and going until early morning hours. Luckily, I brought earplugs which helped a little. Breakfast was good.

Very friendly staff, clean, quiet rooms. Good hearty breakfast. Lovely view of garden,beach and river from dining room and bedroom. Slight issues were TV stuck on one channel and holder for shower head broken. To be fair, we didn't mention these till check out, as weren't big issues for us. Neither of these things would stop us staying here again. It was an unexpected treat to find such a nice place to stay as we were passing through the area!

We had a lovely stay at The Bank. Room was at the back with a cracking view and was nice and quiet. Breakfast was amazing too, I had smoked haddock both days. Only gave 3 stars for condition as bathroom door handle was loose, shower head was loose and fell down in the holder and there was only one hand towel. Long haired folks need a separate towel for their hair. Apart from this the room was spotless. Tea, coffee and water provided, will definitely stay again.

Charming Village, great location

We honestly had a wonderful stay at The Bank. The food and service was incredible for dinner and breakfast. The bed and linens were very nice. Our only drawback was the location of our room, right on the street beside the adjacent pub. Also, I wouldn't say the hotel is a four star, unless we were in an auxiliary section
