We took advantage of a special off-season offer, and spent three nights here for the price of two. On the whole we enjoyed ourselves. The public areas were clean, comfortable and well-decorated in an appropriate seasidey way. But our room (on the first floor, with a view of the Camel Estuary) was decidedly on the cosy side. There was space for only a single chair (an nicely upholstered, straight-backed dining chair), meaning that if we wanted to sit together and enjoy the outlook, one of us had to perch on the bed. Of course one expects to pay for a view; but had we committed to the full price for three nights, we should have left feeling aggrieved, if not ripped off. And perhaps someone could invest less than a couple of quid in coat hooks for the back of the door. The cuisine was excellent. Nothing is to be gained by rehearsing the contentious question of music in a restaurant. I will say only that a background of unrelenting thrashing (on a short loop, and however supposedly subdued) is incompatible with the tranquil view which is a major attraction of the Brasserie. If music is essential, something a little more restful and neutral (modern or classical, or something in between) would surely be more appropriate. I also wonder why, at breakfast, arrivals have to be seated at adjacent tables, when there are plenty of others unoccupied. To avoid being overheard, we had to reduce our conversation to a subdued murmur. Perhaps the management want their guests to socialise, but some guests might want otherwise.
