• "The food in the restaurant was really good and Michele our waitress made us very welcome."
• "Our meals were very well presented and the fish dishes were as good as anything we've experienced elsewhere."

Cons:

• "The only thing I would say is that some of the smoke from smokers out the front does drift in to the lower seating which is not particularly nice."
• "Plant burger maybe needs a rethink but the appledore best made up for it."
• "Both no more appealing than from a weatherspoons and woefully overpriced."
• "I can't ever recall paying £17.00 for Fish & Chips. As it turned the fish was rather dry and the minted peas seemed to be one hard lump."
• "Both courses were underwhelming especially since the prices are very high."
• "Had Sunday roast. First of all, if I wanted belly pork I would have ordered it! It was just fat...the veg was all overcooked and cold."
• "But unfortunately the food was quite average, we ordered two mains, the glazed pheasant and venison sausages (both small portions and bland)."

Accommodation

• "Our room looked newly kitted out. nice personal touches."
• "Nice spacious room with great view."
• "The room was clean and comfortable."
• "The room was lovely and cosy with everything you could need."

Cons:

• "The twin bed room was 10 paces up the road facing out to the road, but as it turned out nic and quiet."
• "One small observation was that our room was a tad on the small side."
• "When choosing a sea view room, be aware that the seafront bins get emptied every single morning at 6:45 and it ain’t quiet!!!"
• "The rooms are starting to look a little tired now and could probably do with a few bits doing ie silicon around shower, lick of paint, replace sofa etc."
• "It was a shame that our room had scaffolding and a ladder outside the window, which we were not informed off."
• "When the hotel shut around 5pm, there was nowhere for residents to sit other than small bedrooms."

• "It was very tasty but grossly overpriced."
• "Shall avoid this place like the plague in future, it was a shame that the chop shops shut after we got back."
