Enjoyed my pint of prawns , the only criticism would be , I would of enjoyed them more if they were cold ,they were room temperature. However, I've woken up this morning and I'm not ill. Good price and large portion . I enjoyed my mussels too. The wife thought them too small, and unfortunately for her a lot of shells were empty. Mine were great . The ladies serving were all very nice and friendly and couldn't fault the service It's a thumbs up from me, but not the misses
The inside is quite dated but more importantly it is clean. The hotel faces the sea and is next to two very nice pubs. The staff are young locals and very professional and helpful. It's worth having dinner here. The food is local fresh produce and well presented. The breakfast is great! Options of full English or kippers with eggs, which I had and they were delicious and fresh. I asked if I could add tomato and mushrooms and it wasn't a problem. Would recommend this hotel for a short stay.
A lovely restaurant with a varied menu with some great seafood and fish selections. We especially enjoyed the scallops, mussels, and Mediterranean prawns..and wow! they make their own ice cream. I can recommend sugarnut and white chocolate and ginger. Also, chocolate orange ginger and rosemary ice cream. A really lovely quality relaxed meal. Our waitress was very friendly and bubbly, which made a difference, giving us a lovely evening.
