Not that great and poor value for money.
Cons:

This is an expensive hotel so our expectations were reasonably high. There were examples of good service but also examples of poor service. In our room, the towel rail didn't work, the sink drained only slowly, the windows were dirty, the coffee machine didn't work properly, it wasn't possible to tell what the coffee pods were, only choice of biscuit every day was stem ginger and the corridor outside our room seemed continually to be the main laundry sorting area. The hotel restaurant food was very expensive relative to the quality and when we asked for a little tartar sauce they added nearly £4 to the bill! This is a greedy overrated hotel.

Light switches incomprehensible

Cons:

We had estuary view, unfortunately we had a building right in front. We were also expecting 2 sun loungers not one. It also said through Booking.com breakfast included, we didn't expect to pay for cooked breakfast. This should have been explained when booking.

Fabulous hotel and location
Pros:

Beautiful property and location. Overlooking the estuary what’s not to like

Cons:

When I booked it was with breakfast. We found that was only for continental on arrival, if you wanted a cooked breakfast it was another £10 per head, plus beware all the service charges they like to add. This is not a cheap place to stay and the additional charges I don’t believe are warranted.

Disappointing
Pros:

Great position and comfortable

Cons:

Restaurant was hopeless - something had gone wrong in the kitchen and the waiters and waitresses didn’t know what to do. Things were served late or not at all and some things weren’t cooked to a proper standard although others were.

Lovely place, great position
