Overall we enjoyed our stay
Pros:

Locations fantastic, breakfast was fine , only ate what was included, I find it so annoying to have to pay more for a cooked breakfast, when did this start ? Takes a little bit of luxury away

Cons:

When we stayed you had a wedding on, which we totally understand, but we just wanted to relax and sit in bar, to busy couldn’t even get down corridor, so we had to leave hotel and find another place to sit and relax

A Lovely time here
Pros:

We have been coming here for years , we love the location & views.
The staff are also fantastic.

Cons:

Not much to dislike but we do think the gate at the side of the hotel ( road side ) needs replacing & the stairwell outside which leads to the road area is often used as a dumping ground .
Movie theatre- we love this bonus but staff unfortunately don’t always know pass code to access it which is a shame

Lovely hotel
Pros:

Loved the location
Loved the room.
Great view.
Staff were lovely.

Cons:

Didn't like that although we booked a room with breakfast included we had to pay an extra £10 each for a cooked breakfast. This was not made clear at the time of booking. The hotel receptionist said this was booking.com fault.

Overall, very good and the room upgrade was a bonus although there are certain aspects of the hotel that need some atten
Pros:

Location and bar/restaurant are highlights. The staff were also attentive and upgraded us to a estuary view room with a balcony when they heard our stay was for a special occasion.

Cons:

The inside of the kettle in our room had bad limescale, we asked for a replacement and they brought another in exactly the same state. The spa is quite small with only a small number of beds. Also, the window in the spa that looks out seems like it hasn’t been cleaned in months.

A nice hotel for a short weekend break.
Pros:

The staff were friendly and helpful, the room clean and well stocked with complimentary tea and coffee. The addition of a glass of gin each in the room was lovely! The breakfast was nice also.

Cons:

There was quite a lot of noise at night, from both inside and outside the hotel which led to disrupted sleep. The spa was smaller than I expected, and had a limited number of seats/loungers.
