Pros:

The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and the bathroom spotless

Cons:

The bed was horrible as were the pillows. And the bedding was thin and not very adequate, with nothing spare to put on the bed to be warmer. Such a shame, just make the bed comfortable!

Gemütliches englisches Gasthaus mit schönem Pub
Pros:

Das Inn in the Park ist ein gemütliches, englisches Gasthaus mit einem Pub und hervorragendem Essen. Es hat einen eigenen kostenlosen Parkplatz, man kann aber auch kostenlos auf der Straße parken. Zum Strand sind es keine zehn Gehminuten. Das Personal ist unglaublich freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Pub wird von zahlreichen Einheimischen frequentiert, was bei dem leckeren Essen aber auch kein Wunder ist. Wir haben uns dort drei Tage lang unglaublich wohlgefühlt. Sollten wir noch einmal in die Gegend kommen, die wunderschön ist, werden wir gerne wieder dort übernachten.

Pros:

The property has a nice feel and is clean. The breakfast was good. There is a nice garden to sit and have a beer or meal in the sun. Being an Inn, it’s a pub with accommodation but a very nice pub.

Cons:

All was good. Breakfast is only served between 9 and 9:30 which I found a little odd. If I was using the hotel for work or had a busy day planned I’d like to be gone before this. When I asked the staff why, she said that it’s because the chefs work all day so they need a later start in the morning. I wonder how all the other hotels I stay in manage to have 2-3 hour breakfast time ranges?

Pros:

The staff were fantastic, the rooms were nice, clean and comfortable, the beach was only a ten minute walk away and the food was nice.

Cons:

The guest night entrance was a metal fire escape that our dog demanded to be carried up. Nothing major though.
