Had a good stay at the Waterfront. Building is a bit dated and in need of refurb but the cleanliness and staff were great. Breakfast was quite good. The only downside is the shower that kept going off while showering and the creaky floorboards in the room. Would probably stay again if in the area.

We booked a superior double room with a king size bed to discover it was 2 single mattresses pushed together, the restaurant was closed we had to go to the sister hotel for breakfast which we were told we would have to be there for 8.30 am because they were fully booked breakfast was an extra if we hadn’t took that booking we would not have got a breakfast which we had paid for with our booking.

The room was warm and comfortable but the hot water was hit and miss. The internet didn’t work. There was a lot of apologies and the offer of a free drink with dinner. The restaurant was fully booked, no privileges for guests (and no free drink)

The seafront location of the property was very good. We stayed in a cottage at the back of the property and this was querky. Would have preferred to meet a human rather than receiving letter with instructions/key to enter room. Room was a little tired but clean although the bin had not been emptied. The shower was only lukewarm which was slightly challenging in winter. Would have been nice to eat in the bistro but this was shut. Had a nice meal in the adjacent Crown Inn. Brisk walk to the Harbour House Hotel for breakfast in the morning - lucky to dodge the heavy rain. Overall enjoyed the stay but would probably better in the summer.
