Crap.
Pros:

Staff and location

Cons:

Bed was like sleeping on a bag of coal. Outside window was fixed open. Buses etc accelerating up the road outside kept us awake all night. We cancelled second night as we could not face a second night under those conditions. Due to hotel “system” they could not refund the second night.

All in all a very unsatisfactory stay.

Wonderful location. Very comfy room with super-large bed. Excellent evening meal with friends. The staff (and other guests) made our two wire-haired pointers very welcome!

Pros:

Wunderbares kleines Hotel ganz nah am Meer. Wir wurden herzlich empfangen. Alles recht geschmackvoll maritim eingerichtet. Zimmer waren sehr schön und bequem. Im hauseigenen Restaurant kann man gut essen. Das Frühstück war sehr gut!

Dont go in Room 5
Pros:

The Bar and restaurant

Cons:

Room 5 was awful, dirty carpet, dusty kettle, bathroom was behind a sliding door, more like a cupboard, right next to bed. Bathroom had discoloured shower unit, mould on corners and only worked for duration of first shower, had to go to another room to have a shower. Needs major upgrade, did not enjoy stay.

Pros:

Nearly every thing was excellent

Cons:

The emergency light above the door was far to bright and was annoying when trying to get to sleep.
I know its a safety issue but doesn't need to be so bright its to guide you to the fire exit.
