Pros:

Die Lage ist einmalig. Das Frühstück lecker und mit top Aussicht. Auch sonst kann man dort gut Speisen. Man ist schnell im Ort.
Wir sind mit Hund gereist und fanden das Begrüßungsgeschenk für unseren Vierbeiner sehr nett.

Lovely view, fantastic staff, fabulous room and exceptional food
Pros:

Food was exceptional- as were the staff. Room clean and comfortable. Slept really well

Cons:

Lots of stairs (well there would be in an old building). Car parking was a worry

The views from the hotel are beautiful, but the overall experience of the hotel was lacking
Pros:

The view from our room was the best feature of our stay, but we had paid extra for this privilege. We ate in the restaurant one evening and the food was exceptional quality for the price. The views over the harbour are also beautiful from the restaurant and lounge area.

Cons:

The hotel is old and full of character, which is a USP, but the decoration in our bedroom was tired and outdated. One feature wall had new wallpaper and the headboard seemed like a recent addition, but the furniture was old MDF which looked cheap and faded and for a hotel of this stature not acceptable. The worse thing of all was the blind on the beautiful sash window facing the road. It warranted a bespoke roman blind, but instead was adorned with the cheapest blue, flimsy roller blind which must have been purchased from Asda which also let all the light into the room. Such an appalling choice again for a hotel of this stature.

We were also underwhelmed by the staff. Most were pleasant, but none seemed to really enjoy their jobs or want to make our stay special. The breakfast staff were particularly lacking. One male member of staff was chewing gum, one female member was very grumpy. When placing my friend's breakfast plate on the table, one of the hash browns slid off the plate onto the table and her only reaction was 'Oh'. She didn't offer to replace it or even apologise. It was a mistake and we didn't want her to feel bad, so we didn't say anything. We also heard staff moaning about the customers to each other in ear shot, which is very unprofessional. At the end of the day, it comes down to staff training. I do believe the customers experience would benefit greatly from staff behaviour being uplifted to a much higher level.

The breakfast is also underwhelming. I had paid for our stay to include breakfast. What this includes is standard filter coffee, tea or herbal tea, juice, toast, a choice of fruit or granola or cereal or croissant and one meal from the hot menu. Anything else occurs an additional charge, even hot chocolate, which is ironic as there are sachets on the tray in the bedroom.

If not for the problematic room 303, it would have been idyllic. Management: might be a good idea to divert the exhaust
Pros:

The location is stunning. You should absolutely book a sea view room , as it is breathtakingly beautiful and unique. You get transported back in time to earlier days, as if you’re watching a Hercule Poirot mystery. Parking is available and much appreciated

Cons:

We got a room with an exceptional view on the 3ed floor room 303. However , just as soon as we began to thank our good luck, we noticed a persistent grease smell. Turns out the exhaust fan for the kitchen is right below our window. The reception staff was a little embarrassed, but we did hear a voice from the office in the back “the fan stops at half nine” (which we interpreted as “be on your way you difficult guest” as we didn’t even get the courtesy of a face meeting with the manager. So indeed, the exhaust fan stopped at 930 pm, and we enjoyed our night. But in the morning it was fried eggs time. Lucky for us the weather did not call for opening the windows, it would have been unbearable. I guess we’re the only room in the hotel that has this problem, so whatever you do, ask specifically not to be booked in room 303!

Pros:

Overall we really enjoyed our stay. The view from our room over the estuary was spectacular, food and service was good.

Cons:

Initial impression of the building was not great but once inside it was fine. With it being an old building the corridors were very narrow.
