We had room 4 which was very comfortable. Itā€™s advertised as a King room so we expected a king sized bed which it didnā€™t have. We didnā€™t eat in the hotel restaurant this time but we have on previous occasions and it was always very good.

We booked a last minute break as the weather was expected to be great and this little hotel and pub turned out to be every bit as good as the weather. The room was quite compact but equally very comfortable, and had the benefit of a balcony over looking the estuary and boat yard. The afternoon entertainment in the garden was really good as was the fresh fish, prawns and oysters served from the garden bar. The pub was especially busy due the sizzling bank holiday weather but all the bar and waiting staff did a brilliant job. Iā€™m sure we will be visiting here again soon.
