Linda Australia

Lovely location and we were given a room with a sea/estuary view. Rooms were nicely decorated and well appointed.

Catherine United Kingdom

the location friendly staff clean comfortable room lovely food

Terry Australia

The rooms were spacious, 3 of us were sharing a room and it didn’t feel cramped at all. The beds were so comfy and the bathroom was very modern.

Samantha United Kingdom

The hotel is in a good position. The room was a little tired and dated but was comfortable with amazing views of the estuary. We opted for the non cooked breakfast at £6 and it was excellent with plenty to eat. The restaurant menu was quite limited and not what is advertised on the website which was a little disappointing. Staff were very friendly and courteous. Overall in relation to what we paid I would rate the experience as generally quite good.

Trevor United Kingdom

I was contacted earlier that day to advise that the motorway on route was closed, so great customer service regarding this. When we arrived the car park was full so we were advised that we could park anywhere on the road. The staff were friendly. The room was lovely and had some nice features.
