Kleinere kamer met mooi uitzicht.

Cons:

Keuken, geen ontbijt maar mogelijkheid (wel bij de buren). Diner, redelijk “pubfood”. Geen persoonlijke ontvangst.

Great location but overpriced.
Pros:

The location was good. For the price paid, I expected more from the room although it was okay.

Cons:

The dining room was set out like a canteen. The food was okay but not excellent.

Compromise and one need a car to go around
Pros:

Breakfast place nearby and kids playground, good and clean room

Cons:

It is next to a motorway, and water body was full only during the night, the rest of the time it feels more like a swamp.

Pros:

We had a lovely room at The Old Quay House with superb views over the Estuary but only for 2 of our three nights sadly. The bed was so comfortable and waking up to that view was wonderful. The Superior room we had for our last night, also looking out over the sea was much smaller with a small double bed. Everything was provided for including binoculars and torches etc. which was a nice touch. Generally we felt a lack of warmth and personal attention especially since they don’t provide breakfast which would enable more staff interaction. Apart from that we had a very pleasant stay.
