A good place to stay whilst exploring the area.
Pros:

We really liked the location overlooking the wetlands nature reserve and its centrality as a base to explore. Our room was large and comfortable and we found our stay very relaxing.

Cons:

The food in the restaurant was quite expensive for what it was.

A little disapointing
Pros:

Perfect location next to the estuary, and on a good day, it was a great spot for an evening drink or early morning coffee. Dinner was OK. Room comfortable and also located right on estuary.

Cons:

We had a slight problem with the blinds in our room which we struggled to fix ourselves, and when seeking help from the hotel staff, it turned out they'd all gone home by 9:30pm - something which we weren't told about at check-in. Whilst we fixed the blinds outselves, any thoughts of a late night drink by the estuary were dashed. Room price was a little high also, possibly opportunisticly so due to the temporary heatwave, and hence I wouldn't consider it great value for money.

For £350 for two nights, this stay did not meet expectations. The “double bed” was actually two single beds pushed toget
Pros:

Local to everything

Cons:

For £350 for two nights, this stay did not meet expectations. The “double bed” was actually two single beds pushed together, which was very uncomfortable. The WiFi was extremely poor throughout our stay. There was also no iron or ironing board in the room on arrival. Staff later provided an iron, but still no ironing board.
Additionally, the estuary shown in the property pictures had no water in it during our stay, which was quite misleading compared to the advertised images.

Lovely clean and comfortable accommodation
Pros:

Very clean and comfortable room with great views. Ideal location for exploring. Would return in the future

Cons:

The pub attached to the rooms was very food focused, more restaurants than pub. But staff were lovely and the food very good.
