Waste of money
Pros:

Have bend before.. but always a sea view room.. didn’t this time due to price increase

Cons:

Room 9 a tiny - the person above has no regard for tenants below… towels were dirty, makeup - I don’t wear makeup … requested a change of towels, didn’t happen …the toilet had skids marks in it… staff shouting about “ribs” at 8am .. tenant above - stomping in the early hours - left at 4.20am - slamming the door…. Very overpriced room

Chaotisch aan het strand
Pros:

Het hotel ligt aan het strand, met de trap naar beneden ben je gelijk op het strand. Kamer was schoon.

Cons:

We konden niet eten in het restaurant en dat werd half naar ons geschreeuwd, het personeel was compleet overweldigd terwijl het restaurant allemaal lege tafels had en er wel 5 mensen achter de bar stonden. Om half 10 waren alle tafels leeg en ging het restaurant dicht op een zaterdag. Het is niet een groot dorp dus er zijn weinig andere opties om ergens anders te eten. Dit hadden ze ook niet van te voren gecommuniceerd. De kamer was heel erg klein, dus wij konden eigenlijk nergens onze spullen kwijt.

Disappointed. Paying guests deserve more attention
Cons:

We arrived at The Ship Inn at around 4pm on Sunday afternoon, where upon we found no ‘reception desk’ just an unmanned terminal where there were no staff. Eventually a member of the restaurant staff quizzically asked us is she could help. We were given directions to room 8 and left to our own devices. We were asked if we had booked directly or via booking .com…this seemed to make a difference as our booking.com room was at the back of the Inn and also breakfast was not included, this was not made clear at the time of booking. The room itself was small with no furniture, the shower height only usually for people under 5’8’’ tall.
No bedside cabinet, each side literally having a shelf the size of a hardback book. At the point of booking we made the Inn aware that one member was GF, no GF biscuits were made available.
The bed was comfy but very small, I am 6’ 4’’ tall.
After visiting sick relatives we got back to the Inn, around 10.30pm to find it in darkness, having apparently closed at 10pm. With no arrivals brief this came as a shock and surprise, we also had to try several doors before we could gain entry. An info book in the room would be a start.
We paid £117 for this experience and are not happy.

Very friendly beach front location that is completely dog friendly
Pros:

Second time we have visited and the location is excellent. The staff are always really friendly and I love the detail that goes in to each room. It is completely dog friendly (rather than ‘pets allowed’) with bowls of water located in different areas and dogs are allowed in the dining area which makes a big difference when you are a solo traveller

Nice, friendly hotel on the sea front
Pros:

We had a nice large room, clean and comfortable. We had lunch in the restaurant (crab sandwiches) which were nice. Breakfast was very nice, full English freshly made

Cons:

We had dinner in the restaurant. We both had fish and chips, I had cod, my partner had plaice. Although the chips were nice, we were both disappointed with the fish. The batter was tough and overwhelmed the fish, which seemed overcooked
