Guests often enjoy the complimentary gin in their rooms and the exceptional breakfast room that boasts unrivalled views of the Camel Estuary; some guests, however, have found the continental breakfast option to be lacking.

The room was well presented. I found the gin and tonic in the room a nice surprise. The breakfast was satisfying. It also had a nice view over the harbor.
I had an evening meal of breadcrumb coated and fried chicken it was very over cooked. It was almost burnt and hard to eat as it was dried to a cinder. The parking cost twelve pounds per night. I felt that the town in general seemed focused on fleecing customers.
