    A lovely hotel but a bit expensive for a ‘nice’ stay and if you don’t like dogs then give it a miss!

    The room was quite expensive and the extra touches didn’t reflect this - no fridge, very short lead on the hair dryer, no hot chocolate sachets and a small space/room (we had a twin room). There were scuffs on the wall down to the plaster and cobwebs - however the room was very nicely styled and otherwise looked in great condition. Our room had a floor level window which meant we couldn’t open it at night which was a pain and the room wasn’t very big at all. Another big flaw for both of us was that the establishment allowed dogs in the restaurant and whilst there were designated areas for them, this was ignored at breakfast with dogs sitting close to areas serving food . I like dogs but not barking whilst I am trying to relax and eat and definitely not in food service areas. We didn’t complain about this at the time as the pub just seemed super dog friendly but it definitely put a taint on things for us.

    Breakfast was plentiful and fresh. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They were quick to answer any questions and queries and help where they could. Location was great. Seahorses was not as quaint as some villages but it does have a lot to offer, especially for families. There are boat trips from the harbour, amusements, crazy golf, a swimming pool/spa - which is free to use by Inn guests - and it is a great base for walkers. The Inn food was very good but there were a few dishes unavailable as they had run out. The restaurant offered plenty of seating and even gave us vouchers to redeem for a drink in the bar if we decided to cancel housekeeping in our room for the following day. A really lovely seating area can be found just outside the Inn with benches for people to sit and eat fish and chips or just watch the harbour. The benches are well used and it almost feels like a cinema with the harbour being your ‘film’! The Inn is split into 2 sections with one area being light and airy and the other show casing the old side of the inn and being dark and cosy. The outdoor area looks over the harbour with plenty of seats and tables.

    Being woken up at 06.00 hrs by deliveries and beer barrels bouncing into the cellar. This continued for a few hours, nothing like an early start to set you up for the day.

    Good location.

    No itemised bill when leaving and asking to pay for food and drinks put on the room. Thought room was a bit pricey as rather dated. Breakfast only served till 9.30 which is early when on holiday

    Our room was located in the attic and was very cramped and boiling hot. We had a fan but it was very uncomfortable. Just be aware of this when booking. I thought it was quite expensive for the room we ended up with.

    The location was just beautiful. The staff were lovely.

    Booked a 3 adults room it showed a double bed and single on booking . Com . We got double bed and set of bunk bed. My 31 yr old autistic son slept with his Dad on very comfy bed as they were to tall for bunk bed. I slept on bunk bed that was very low down. The mattress was thin and uncomfortable . I’m guessing room was changed because we had our dog with us & bunk bed was very dusty I wrote my name on it so hopefully it gets cleaned properly.

    Great location. Parking not so great . Great out door seating space & lovely clean dinning in doors and plenty spaces

    No mini fridge in the room. Decor a bit outdated could do with being redecorated. Need to book early to guarantee your table if eating dinner at night as was packed out every night we were there. Not a massive choice on the dinner menu especially for vegetarian. Not a lot of parking spaces had to use the public car park across the road but if you produce your ticket at reception they will reimburse you

    Location was excellent. Had a sea view room with balcony which was worth the extra cost. Good choice of breakfast buffet you could help yourself to cereal, toast and full English cooked breakfast to pastries. Staff very friendly and helpful

    Breakfast on our 3rd day was very poor. New cook? Short of staff? The main evening menu seemed heavy with chips for most things, could do with possibly less choice but more variety.

    The rooms were in good order. Staff helpful. Booking in and out easy.

    Unfortunately, my elderly Mum in Law was located next to a room where there were two dogs which were barking frequently, and disturbed her sleep. We appreciate that this is a matter that rests with the dog owners and is outside of the hotel's control.

    The location of the hotel is fantastic, with an amazing view. Breakfast was good with a great selection of items. We had our evening meals in the hotel, which were also good. We were fortunate to find a parking space in the hotel's car park, which was a bonus as one of our family members has mobility issues so it helped being close to the hotel.

    The wet room drain needs adjusting and the floor should direct the water into the drain not all over the wet room floor Larger TV would be appreciated as disabled customers need to rest throughout the day

    Breakfast was acceptable but room for improvement eg more fresher pastries and fruit and yoghurt
