Fantastic location. Lovely staff on the whole. Outside grassy area had a lot of cigarette butts which was unpleasant. Also outside seating on grass a few more options would be good. Most of the seats were really low. Will definitely be back.

There was a wedding going on at the property with loud music playing to midnight! And all the parking was occupied by what I assume is wedding guests and we struggled to park near the hotel.

The hotel isn't living up to it's potential,the property is tired,it lacks personality,our room had frosted glass windows and whilst I didn't expect a view,you can normally look out and see the sky,however if you opened the windows you had a constant booming of I think the boiler and it looked grotty.The room was small but that was ok although the bed and pillows felt uncomfortable,the shower door didn't shut, the breakfasts at the hotel where very good as was the afternoon tea,however the evening meal was of poor quality lacking choice and what I'd describe as pub grub which is fine but not for a spa hotel.Check out wasn't great the receptionist started off bubbly and friendly but got grumpy with me as I pointed out that they'd over charged me,I wasn't rude neither was she,she just seemed grumpy.The staff in the restaurant where friendly,cheerful and helpful

Great place for a short break, hotel faces quiet shingle beach and has lovely patio with windbreak. Very clean throughout hotel, good service, good food too. Bar area rather cold and impersonal. Room well equipped, although few sockets for IT needs and not conveniently positioned. Also, whilst there was a great hairdryer provided, there was only one place where you could plug it close to a mirror - and the flex was only just long enough. Made hair drying a challenge.

The entire staff were friendly, courteous and helpful. The food was so enjoyable, tasty and well presented. Our compliments to the chef and kitchen staff. We had our engagement lunch at the Cooden Beach Hotel 52 years ago and were celebrating our 51st wedding Anniversary.

Great hotel

Great hotel, loved the staff in the restaurant (breakfast & dinner). Great location too, on the beach and, importantly for us, right next to the railway station. Our only suggestion is that the reception staff would do well to be warmer and more accommodating.

We stayed here for two nights -- and I wish I was there for a week! Beautiful boutque resort right on the water.. incredibly friendly staff, good food options -- nothing beat the view or the patio overlooking the shore. Rooms were clean, beds were incredibly comfortable.

Road Trip

This is a lovely hotel right in the beach. Our room was small and cosy and all we needed. Having requested a twin. Staff are really friendly. The general areas are bright and open. Very welcoming. I'm writing this as I wait to go for breakfast. But our dinner last night was spot on, and delicious 😋. I'll come again.

Mixed review

We stayed for one night, 2nd to 3rd August, room 121. Although a standard room, cost was over £200. The room was very small, it was also very warm with a cooler but no air conditioning, this made it difficult to get a decent nights sleep. In addition to the above, the bathroom was exceptionally small, it was not possible to pass each other in that space. Positives, the staff were friendly and courteous, the breakfast very good with a wide choice, car parking was plentiful and free, and the location and view exceptional. Would we stay again? yes, but not in room 121 or a room without AC.

High quality fittings and fixtures in bed and spacious bathroom. Lovely shower with clearly marked toiletries. Nice little extras (e.g. a fan and clothes brush). Neat tea/coffee making area. Double aspect in both bed and bathroom (that’s a first!). The staff and receptionist are cheerful, helpful and friendly and the location of the hotel on the beach with its gorgeous terrace is perfect. Breakfast: Eggs Benedict cooked perfectly, lovely pastries and fresh bed - plus plus. Next job is to find out how much the rooms with the balconies overlooking the sea are…. All 5 star, no minuses. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The property for me was tidy and the staff friendly, and the breakfast was good, however in the hotel needs to have greater attention to detail. The bathroom extractor was very noisy and unfortunately the sensor activated continuously despite no one passing it all night long. This affected my sleep, in addition the shower although looking new had mould and missing grout making it look dirty. My room was 110 and for the money was also little small.
