amazing views comfy sofa wicker chairs thin cushions
The room had amazing views. The sky and sea were so beautiful! i also loved the comfy sofa. it was really nice to sit and enjoy the scenery from there.
the wicker chairs in the room were not comfortable at all. the cushions were too thin, and i could feel the slates beneath. the cushions were a real letdown.

Wonderful stay!

estuary view comfortable sofa good breakfast excellent food
The room provided fantastic views of the estuary. It had three windows facing the water. There was a comfortable sofa in the room and I watched the changing sky. Breakfast at the nearby Pennington hotel was very good. I also had evening meals in the pubwith excellent food.
My room was quite warm, even with the windows open. It could use better ventilation.
