Basic but clean and comfortable.
Pros:

Room was clean and tidy and good space. The location is really nice being next to the marina which provides a great morning view and there was plenty of parking available.

Cons:

Very limited amenities in the room. Just one choice of basic tea in the kitchenette - could add a herbal or say Earl Grey option. The combined handwash, shampoo, body wash solution was a basic detergent.

Pros:

. Staff were nice

Cons:

The room was quite small and not a lot of space to move around the room. The WiFi did not work, it was faster to use my hotspot. There were not any plugs by the side of the bed or bedside tables.

Room 48 Noisey
Pros:

We love the Bluewater close to everything.

Cons:

Room 48 is so noisey has spare room. You could hear cars driving round the roundabout we got zero sleep.
