    Breakfast wasn’t included and it should be considering I paid £90 for a room for just myself

    Right on the sea front, I had a great room

    Paying to park is a pain but not a big issue. Stayed there before so new about this.

    Location is superb. All rooms look out over the dovey estuary. The room floors are very creaky but not suprising considering how old the INN is. Very good wifi as well. Will stay there again next time I go over to see my mum.

    We booked a room with a double bed for a special birthday romantic trip. On arrival we were given a room with 2 single beds. On pointing this out, we were told that the 2 beds might be rearranged as a double for us 'if the staff had time'. This did not happen. The hotel was full, therefore there was no point in asking to change rooms. The lack of good customer service was a bit disappointing.

    The beds were very comfortable. There were nice sea views from the bedroom. The bathroom was spacious and well equipped.

    Not so keen on the menu as limited and not enough healthy options for me ( because I'm a fusspot)

    Location, room cleanliness and staff were all excellent. Would definitely recommend it

    There was nothing at all I didn’t like

    Prime position overlooking the sea, and access to shops/pubs. Staff extremely welcoming, Dave in particular! Rooms clean and comfortable, plenty of room. The food in the pub itself was exceptional and the staff there again, really friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back, a firm favourite for me!

    The room we stayed in was in dire need of decorating and wasn’t spotlessly clean ,dirty light switches ,marks on the walls carpet not hoovered and wall paper hanging off the wall in the bathroom. We also found packets of sugar and coffee wedged into the old sash windows like they were holding them shut but secondary glazing was covering this. The window ledges in between the glazing were really dirty.

    We liked the location of the property and it’s excellent views of the sea and countryside

    Bed was a little soft. Also, and this is just a polite suggestion, the stair carpet in the communal area could do with either a clean or replacement as it's the first thing you see.

    Booked for my husband. Who said hosts were friendly. The twin room provided for a solo traveller was very nice with a beautiful sea view. Clean, comfortable, and spacious. Breakfast was extra but worth the money. Would happily stay again. Also went the extra mile when they agreed to post my phone charger back to me when I realised I had left it behind.

    Only one little grizzle which we spoke with management about was the need to clean the wood of the external window frames.

    Warm and clean and comfortable bed with a great shower and a lovely sea view.
