“Good but not Great”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011

Stayed for one night last Saturday at the pier for a family party near by and had a good stay but a few points let the hotel down.

When we checked in to the hotel there was no one at the desk and a sign saying ask at the bar so off to the bar we went, a sign on the bar said "this bar is closed ask at the other bar" so we then went to the other bar and waited in a queue of people getting drinks to say we wanted to check in, we went back to the desk and one of the bar staff came through about 5 minutes later to give us a room key.

We stayed in room 206 which was a nice clean room and the bathroom was lovely, only issues with the room was the pillows are rock solid and stopped us sleeping and we struggled to get hot water, it was luke warm at best.

The cooked breakfast was very good in the morning and came out really quickly, good choice of juice & cereal to help yourself to aswell.

Not sure £80 per night is good value for this hotel but we might stay again.

“Excellent hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011

Stayed for a Thursday & Friday night. Was able to find easy parking in hotel car park. Rooms were very clean. Food & service was excellent. Menu had large selection of options with daily special available. Reasonably priced. Jazz band on Thursday night & 90's evening on Friday night - did not stay for these but did not disturb us in our rooms. Hotel is just a few yards from a long sandy beach. Very helpful staff. Hotel built in 1897 so no lift but this was not a problem.

Room Tip: Rooms facing river are interesting as there are a number of ships coming & going to watch

“Fantastic Meal”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2011

Found the pier hotel by accident while out driving. Decided to have our evening meal there. The restaurant was very clean and the a la carte menu very varied. My wife has a wheat intolerence but it was no problem for the chef to knock up a flour free sauce to accompany her meal.
Staff were very attentive - but not intrusive and the food when it arrived was excellent. All reasonably price as well. Two main meals with 4 drinks came to just over £30. If there was a slight downside it was the fact that the restaurant is screened from the bar by partitioning and it did get a little noisy at times.

Room Tip: Ask for a window table overlooking the beach
