On our first night the noise from the boiler in the next room was so loud we had to ask to move to an alternative room which the staff did without question. The welcome we got on arrival was very pleasant although the staff the second day were far less amenable. We ate in the hotel on both nights and the food was good albeit on the second night we had to sit in the public bar to eat as one of the 3 rooms in the restaurant was being used for a function the other rooms in the restaurant were available so we didnt understand the logic in having guests eat in the public bar. Generaly the bar area is in need of a major refurbishment as it felt very tired.

Unfortunately after buying drinks we were told it finished yesterday for the summer. Settled on just a starter and choose a sharing seafood platter for 2. That and a side order of fries totalled £19.98. They should be embarrassed to serve a platter that comprised of 4 small prawns, 6 small whitebait and 4 small pieces of tasteless calamari. A poor portion for one. On a positive, the fries were nice and the bar staff friendly and welcoming.
