  : Location was good. Outside of the centre, which was reflected in the price, but the beach is about 10-15 mins walk and centre about 25, plus there is a bus stop right outside from which you can travel to both. Plus, it has it's own car park, so plenty of free parking. My room faced the road, and there is no double glazing, but it goes quiet after about 10 pm, so slept well. The room was clean and tidy without being sterile. Lots of extras, a bottle of water by the bed, sleep mask, sewing kit, I think there were ear plugs as well, plus a hairdryer. Tea, coffee and hot chocolate making facilities, but only one pack of biscuits. Small shower, but powerful water supply, plus it heats up very quickly and easy to adjust the temperature. A shelf to put your shower gel would have been useful, as would one in the sink area.
  : Only really 2 gripes. I emailed the Spice Ship requesting to change my room from a single to a double (admittedly only about 24 hours before check in), and didn't get a response, which was a bit disappointing. Also, the breakfast was ok, but I felt better quality products could have been used. Not going to judge it too harshly as it was included, but would have gladly paid 5 more for a better one. Cereal and unlimited toast, tea and coffee were also included though, which was a nice touch.

  : Good food/breakfast nice, beers, good for watching sports, great location
  : Daughters room smelled a bit of rotting wood(room 3) and went down for a night cap just after 10 to find the pub locked up(it was a Saturday night) guess it wasn't buy, but not a dicky bird to us, 11 was the time on their own website, otherwise a decent stay.

  : Great food, really friendly staff, great pub
  : Could have been a lot cleaner (bedroom was dusty and the shower could have been bleached to get rid of the grime)

  : The new management here is fantastic! Such delicious food - both the included breakfast and dinner here was great. The nautical themeing is charming and fun, especially with the Halloween decorations they'd put up. Staff are kind, warm, and helpful. We coincidentally made a booking when their quiz was on in the evening as well and we had a brilliant time - such a fun night for all. Fantastic value for money.
  : We had a brilliant time but some may find the room a little small and may be disappointed that there is no bath (at least in the one we had).
