The Tide’s Out

The Tide’s Out

10/10 Excellent
"Check in was very easy. The room was clean with big comfy bed, lovely shower and huge white fluffy towels. The room had a coffee machine but also toaster and kettle in the cupboard with loads more pods etc in reception if all those in the room were used. The only thing to be aware of is as we had used a credit card to book but then paid on arrival we noticed it had been charged twice. On querying we were told that one of the payments was a security deposit and would be refunded once the room had been cleaned on departure. The person on reception was very helpful in explaining this and true to their word one of the payments was refunded by lunchtime on the day of departure. Would recommend this hotel."
