6.8/10

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was comfortable with a decent en suite, but the smell was a bit off, possibly due to previous smokers or mustiness. It was also quite noisy with the neighboring wedding guests partying late into the night. On the bright side, the non-residents' menu offered good choices at a fair price, and the bed was cozy.

Rooms

The room was decent with a comfortable bed and a good en suite, but the smell was not pleasant due to possible smoking or musty odors. Noise from neighboring wedding guests was also a drawback.

The hotel is located very conveniently on the high street, just yards from the sea, making it great for those who enjoy lovely walks along the estuary. The rooms are basic but functional, with everything in working order, although the lack of immediate response about heating was a drawback. The hotel could use some updating and a touch-up of paint, but overall the rooms provide a comfortable stay at a decent price.
