Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, located near the coast and offering a lovely view of the beautiful garden from my room. The service, though a bit stretched, tried their best to provide a good experience. The dining options were delightful with the best porridge in East Anglia. However, the large party at the restaurant on Saturday evening caused some inconvenience. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few hiccups.
The hotel offered a comforting stay with spacious rooms overlooking a beautiful garden, though service was lacking attentiveness. The location was cozy, ideal for relaxation, and dining boasted the best porridge in East Anglia. While the hotel had good facilities, service could be more attentive and forthcoming with information.
The hotel is situated close to the coast and two beaches, offering a convenient location while being surrounded by local coastal attractions. The restaurant features the best porridge in the area, but the service at the tables could be improved. The rooms provide a mix of comfort and functionality, with a good shower plus a claw bath, but some lack a bath in the actual bedroom. Overall, a pleasant stay with some room for enhancement.
