Lovely position but needs managing
Pros:

We had a lovely view from our room

Cons:

The service was mostly by young inexperienced staff who needed guidance.
The room had water and milk provided - a small fridge would not have gone amiss and there was plenty of space to put one.
Bed was enormous but very hard as were the pillows

Wonderful stay, perfect location
Pros:

We had a fantastic time at the Old Quay House. The hotel is centrally located, near to shops, bars and harbour. We had a Superior room with a view of the estuary. Balcony is just big enough to stand on, but offered fab views. Room was quite small, but very well decorated, with everything you could ask for. Complimentary toiletries were excellent quality, as was the breakfast, which was delicious. Terrace at back had wonderful views, and was perfect to relax on. All of the staff were helpful and friendly. Room was quite expensive, but worth it. Highly recommended

Cons:

Bathroom in our room , number 9, was nice, but accessed via a stairway with 5 steps. Fine for us, but be mindful for people with limited mobility. Room is also on 2nd floor, and hotel didn’t have a lift. Nothing that spoilt our stay though.

Pretty hotel in the middle of town. Almost inaccessible by car! Excellent staff and comfy rooms.
Pros:

The staff were all delightful and helpful. The room was cosy and the "glimpse" view of the estuary was appreciated.

Cons:

Charging for a decent cup of coffee at breakfast I consider to be penny-pinching. If breakfast is included in the room rate (it was), then provide a decent cup of coffee! The cafetière coffee was watery and almost undrinkable. The cappuccino was okay - but you had to pay extra. My wife is partially disabled and there were an awful lot of stairs to reach the room, although I appreciate that installing a lift would be a step to far in that building.
