The Waterfront

We stayed here at the end of October and had a splendid 3 day stay. Big spacious bedroom with wide variety of tv channels to watch, nice and cosy and comfy beds and good WiFi speed for most needs. We were on 2nd floor and stairs not the easiest with a big suitcase to carry up or down. Free parking across road at harbour but not sure if still free in high season. Excellent breakfast with lots of choice of lighter options and full cooked breakfast and really enjoyed the croque Madame, eggs Benedict and the filled breakfast rolls and good porridge too. Staff excellent and helpful and friendly although not the fastest service we were in no rush and plenty of tables many with great views in the sunshine. We also had 2 evening meals with especially good desserts and an excellent trout dish and good gnocchi and basically choices to suit all. Good wine list and wide range of beers and drinks and excellent staff in evening with again not the fastest service but certainly not slow and really relaxed and no rush at the end of the evening for us to leave even though we were last to leave and happy to give us more coffees and glasses of wine even though it was late. Definitely a place we’re going back to in the spring for another half week seaside break

Stayed one night and ate dinner here. The room was fine - the furnishings could do with a bit better placement, but our room was very spacious and had a harbour view. The restaurant, however, is what tanked our impression. The service wasn’t just poor it was hostile. We ordered a bottle of wine and it was slammed onto the table and left for us to open and pour without a word. We had to flag someone down multiple times to remove dirty dishes that were sitting in front of us for a long time and taking up all the space on our very small table. The server bluntly said “What do you want?” when she came to take our orders. We asked for water and were given one small glass to share between us while the other tables around us had tall bottles of water brought over. That was the final straw. We left and went somewhere else for an after dinner drink. We debated even going down for breakfast, which was included with the room, because we didn’t want to have a similar repeat experience. Our room was fine and the food was decent but with service like that, we wouldn’t recommend.

We visited The Waterfront for breakfast, after staying overnight in their sister hotel, The Bank. My daughter is coeliac and the breakfast offering at The Bank had been limited. She was able to order a full gluten free breakfast at The Waterfront. The food and the service (from Kirstin) was excellent 👌. We’d definitely go back (and stay in The Waterfront this time!).

We went for lunch only at The Waterfront and we were not disappointed, great location right on the front overlooking the Harbour. The food was excellent as was the service. Shared seafood platter followed by sticky toffee pudding, what a feed. Not only was our food good, all the food that was being served looked great. We will certainly be going back, great food, service and value for money 👍

It is a great hotel and the staff and support was great.the food lovely but remember to book in advance for evening meal.

Great Great stay as always, lovely modern, comfortable rooms. Complementary water, sky tv so can log into your Netflix, YouTube or I-Player. Breakfast is great. Overall great rooms in a great location with great staff and a great restaurant.
