The fact that you can arrive by boat and step directly onto their private pontoons is quite unique.

rushed service overcooked egg
The breakfast service was a bit disappointing. i had to book a time slot in advance, and even then, the service felt rushed. my egg arrived looking rather sad, it was overcooked and not very appealing. also, the room wasn't cleaned until quite late in the day. The excuse was the high number of departures, but it was still inconvenient.

Really good stay with attention to detail
fresh milk real ale lovely breakfast
The room offered fresh milk for morning tea and coffee. Breakfast and dinner were lovely. The bar provided a nightcap with a view overlooking the estuary. Staff members were very approachable and knowledgeable. I appreciated the real ale selection... Sea Fury was particularly notable. The breakfast was excellent.
I noticed dead flies on the window sill in the bar. Cigarette butts littered the hotel terrace floor. Tables in the pub needed cleaning.

The hotel offers two restaurants for dining. One can find options for lunch and dinner without leaving the premises. The bar presents comfortable seating with views of the estuary.
