The beds are very comfortable, especially the pillows - a prerequisite for a restful break. We've stayed in the family room on the top floor and a large twin on the first and both had great beds and bedding. The bar is a bit dismal and doesn't have any outstanding beers (for those you have to go to Rock Point and drink Doom Bar). Hence only four stars. The pool is great for adults and kids alike if the weather will not permit sea swimming. Off street parking though not secure is a boom in such a cramped old town centre and is worth paying extra for. But the piece de resistance is the cooked breakfast. All locally sourced products and you can customize to your heart's content, all for £13! Non-guests welcome. Highly recommend. They even do good coffee which is highly unusual for a traditional English hotel.

It looks like a perfectly decent place for a drink but in terms of the food I can only say disappointing! The menu looked promising and it was packed out, with many eating. Fish & chips should be easy for a place like this so close to the harbour, but ours looked like it had come straight out the freezer. In fact, I doubt whether any of the produce on our plates was local. The chips were bland, McCain-like creations. On the plus side, the service was fine, and ale was good.

It was located across the street from our friends house (literally). The bed was super comfortable, although the room was a bit hot and had no AC. The food was really good with a good selection. The bar was quite cheap with an excellent selection of beer, wine and spirits. Didn't get to sample the spa, but their selection of options was quite impressive. The room was very modern, well sized, the grounds were great (even included a couple of goats!), there was a family room complete with Playstation, billiards table, flat screen TV showing sports, comfy sofas and an overall really good vibe to the place. I can just about guarantee that we will stay here again. The price was exceptionally good, £100 for one night and we felt we got a lot out of it! Highly recommend this place.

Unfortunately, I was assigned a room overlooking the parking lot dumpsters with a non-functional heater. Despite reporting the cold radiator, the staff simply told me to turn the dial up--which I had already done to no avail. The dining experience was also a letdown. While the presentation was an attempt at "Michelin-style," the £10 mullet portion was tiny and swimming in excessive herb oil, which was difficult to stomach after a long day of travel. On a positive note, the breakfasts were good, the location is convenient, and it served as a helpful meeting point for my family. If you stay here, I recommend double-checking that any special requests are actually communicated to the staff.

Normally I find that hotel restaurants are stupidly expensive with subpar selection, service, and quality. This is not the case with this hotel's built in eatery. I'd go so far as to say it's worth it to come here JUST FOR THE FOOD! We each had the broccoli and stilton soup with the burger. The soup was rich and creamy with a very delicate flavour. The burger was possibly the best I've ever had. It was massive. The meat was flavourful, perfectly seasoned and cooked. In many cases a burger is defined and made by the surrounding compliments, but I could eat the meat on its own. Speaking of the condiments, however, it should be noted that this was the most well-dressed burger I think I've seen. It was served on top of what I can only describe as a toasted mini baguette, topped with melted cheese and a green aioli that really complimented the meat. If you live around this area, I highly recommend it. I now wish I'd tried some of the more expensive menu items, but I'm a student so I'll save that for a future trip. The waitresses were also very kind and attentive, and though there weren't many other patrons, we received our food quickly. Edit: We went back for dinner on our second day. I had the braised lamb shoulder and it's very difficult to say which is better, the burger or the lamb. The chefs are artist. The shoulder came with some greens and a creamy mash. The arrangement is topped with a sauce that I can only describe as tasting like a sweet hickory gravy with what might be called slight asian and fruity accents. It's amazingly tasty and equal to if not better than the aforementioned burger. I highly recommend this place.
