Room was comfortable however the seagulls kept us awake every morning from 5am walking on the roof (Room5)
There were a couple of examples where ingredients listed for food items on the menu were left out, proving to be a disappointment for some dishes. The gnocchi didn't have any chestnuts, The pancakes didn't have coconut yoghurt for example.
More vegetarian options would have been welcomed.

Room was lovely - but kitchen staff below it were super noisy - lots of shouting. Feels under (experienced) staffed and unwelcoming.

The bedroom was very very dark. I did mention it to the gentleman but he seemed uninterested by my comments.
The tea/coffee tray was inside the wardrobe on a shelf. It was so dark in the room I had to use the light on my phone to get items. That's despite there being 3 small lamps scattered about and a floor lamp. There wasn't a main ceiling light. May be a light to come on as you open the wardrobe door.
It's a very very small room and there are 3 chairs and a table in it. Not necessary.
There was a good book of how to... and tips for the local area. The nesspresso machine was nice and there was a lovely Roberts radio so some luxurious items.
The bathroom was beautiful Stylish and bright. However there was not a bath so we had to use a hand towel. Nice toiletries and a wonderful shower.

We went for an overnight get-away and were very pleased. Tomas on Reception greeted and told us where the room was. The room was compact but perfectly formed. The shower room (again compact) was spotless, however, the boarding behind the sink could do with a bit of attention but that's the only negative. There was a big, walk-in cupboard/wardrobe with hanging space, iron and ironing board. Plenty of room for luggage and even a pushchair. Starters and nibbles are on offer in the bar area, which we enjoyed for lunch and we were booked for dinner in the evening. Mark gave some recommendations which were amazing. Thank you. Tomas was back on duty at breakfast and the Eggs Benedict/Royale were spot on delicious. Extremely good service and fabulous food. We will be back.

Rooms are small but that’s ok, mattress is way to hard and could do with being more middle of the road. Restaurant is top notch as is service

I found accessibility was a challenge. Toilets and bedrooms upstairs were difficult for me, as I have mobility issues. The room was clean and reasonably well presented but short voile curtains and basic soap, limited milk cartons, and a very low side chair made it all feel 3*. Good value for money for the room but we spent more eating than we expected to.

Attending a wedding at Compton Acres so very convenient.
Less than 10 min walk to venue.
Breakfast not included so the cost can add up as coffee, tea, toast and juice are all extras in addition to the price of the breakfast!!! The first morning we were there, there was no orange juice, no kippers no butter for the toast either!
Refreshments in room very limited...Only 2 tea bags (and not replaced for second night either)

Noise from the restaurant is intrusive.

Nice location friendly staff good service, food very good and sensibly priced
however the accommodation needs a bit of an upgrade in terms of electrical connections.
In todays age more communication is made from mobile .Hotel lacked charging and electrical points, people need to be aware so they can take adequate connections

The staff were very friendly and the service in the bar and restaurant was excellent with very good food. The room was very clean but small and tired. The car park is very small and can be very difficult to find a space when the restaurant is open

Staff very attentive in restaurant , food is very good but it does have its issues….currently a building site next door which operates between 8-5 weekdays.
We found the beds to be extremely firm which wasn’t to are liking & we stayed for 2 nights but bed was not made after first night so to sum up our stay would go there again to eat but wouldn’t book a stay.

We had a view of a building site and workmen shouting and swearing at 8am. Could not turn down the heat on the shower so I couldn’t get a shower in the morning, told the staff at reception but he just said “oh thanks for letting us know” . Sadly disappointed with the hotel.
4.0
Checkin and staff were excellent all through especially Radek, always friendly helpful and smiling. Location superb and easy walk to the beach. However, the room at the front was very disappointing. Major Road noise from 6AM, pipe squeaking noises constantly from 7am when others use their bathrooms. We asked to move, however the back apparently had a building site next to it. Sadly not conducive to a restful few days away we had planned.
4.0
Very friendly staff. Rooms are quite small of which there are only 8 in total, so it is a small hotel.
Breakfast was excellent.
Short walk (10-15 mins) to the beach.

The Hotel was lovely,the Staff friendly and helpful ,and the location was great .
The only downside was booking through Expedia the site advised breakfast was included in the price , and it wasn't .
I will book direct next time or use a different site .
