The hotel offers stunning views of the estuary, making it a perfect spot for bird watching with your own binoculars. The rooms are comfy, though some might find the beds a bit basic. The service is great, with attention to details like housekeeping and a friendly welcome drink. The location is remote but beautiful, especially if you have a dog to enjoy the coastal walks. However, note that on New Year's Day, the restaurant closes early at 6pm.
