Amazing, I will definitely be staying there again. Loved it!
Pros:

My stay at the property was such a lovely experience. The staff were exceptional, who went out of their way to help make your stay a great one.

I needed a pair of sunglasses for a wedding as it was a very hot, sunny day. One member of staff heard this and spoke to one of the kitchen staff who very kindly lent me his for the day. Which not only saved me a huge amount of time to find a shop at such short notice, but I also found a lovely thing to do. I was hugely appreciative of this, and it made my day. Breakfast was lovely, and I ate once at the restaurant, and the food was made with love and great attention to detail.

Cons:

It's not that I didn't like it, but it might be something the hotel could consider adding to the room. which would be a little mini fridge in the room. That would be my only feedback

We had a short stay which was pleasant.Nice pub in lovely location, but not great for overnight stays. Food was good but
Pros:

Nice location, close access to beach,menu choices were good.

Cons:

Room was comfy enough but decor was a bit old fashioned and though the bathroom was modern it was very difficult to adjust water temperature.
Duvet on bed was very light and not really warm enough although we could adjust the room radiator we could have done with an extra blanket.
Breakfast on 2nd morning was cold.

A nice pub with parking close to the beach.
Pros:

Location close to the beach with free parking.

Cons:

Early closing times even over the bank holiday weekend. Pub closed for food at 4.30 and drinks at 8.30pm on Sunday despite lots of people passing by and asking for food and drinks. Missed opportunity for them and disappointing for people staying over not to be able to have a drink after 8.30pm.

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.
