Pros:

Camera molto bella con la vista sul mare. Comoda la posizione e il pub sotto dove poter mangiare. Pulizia ok, comodo il bagno grande con vasca e doccia.

Cons:

Fino alle 23 c'è molta confusione nel pub di sotto, per chi vuole mettere a letto i bambini presto non è il massimo.

Lovely staff who were very helpful and great views from hotel of the coastline
Pros:

Good breakfast, limited choice of continental breakfast, but good varied choice of cooked options. Very good hotel location, overlooking the Bristol Channel, and lovely outside area with ample seating and tables. Relaxed and welcoming atmosphere in hotel.

Cons:

Lack of Greek yoghurts, no grapefruit or fruit cocktail. Tea and coffee in flasks isn’t great, but we were offered tea and coffee from the machine. Coffee wasn’t hot.
There was a whiff of drains in the en-suite of one bedroom, which wasn’t pleasant. There was no milk bottle/flask in my room, but was available in my friend’s. I was told not everyone was issued with bottles, which seemed unfair as we both paid the same.
