Not so good

On first sight everything looked great. Funky interior in seating area near bar etc. Our room however was not up to scratch. Leftover hairs in the corners of the bathroom. Headboard and lamps not been Hoovered or dusted. Spray from other people's toothbrush not been cleaned on walls near sink. I told housekeeping and they did come to rectify however not the toothpaste spray or to my overall satisfaction. There was also a long hair wrapped in the toast holder at breakfast.

Overall experience was ok, but i'll look for something else next time. Negatives: Very tiny room and bathroom, in poor condition, could barely move around. We were put into a room at the back of the property (like an annex) although the hotel didn't seem busy at all, possibly because we were with our dog, but you'd think you get a slightly bigger room at least. Staff is polite but not welcoming, I felt like I was doing them a favour by being their guest. Positives: Close to the village, beach, restaurants/pubs. Lovely interior in reception/lobby area and nice bar.

IOW - mini break

Ok hotel . Great location. Parking worked well. Nice bar. Only one breakfast price made for an expensive option if you wanted something light - eg scrambled eggs on toast. Shower - poor, both water pressure and temperature rubbish, and when asked pretty much told that’s how it is in our room. TV use too complicated ! Pleasant enough stay but unlikely to return.

Good breakfast

Lovely hotel, but the bedroom that we booked had a very firm mattress and pillows so not comfortable for us. The noise from the room above kept us awake. The television when we did decide to watch it was very hard to use and took a long time to work out with no instructions. The fair haired lady in reception was not very friendly. Breakfast was very good and the general areas of the hotel very smart and comfortable.

The Q Boutique Hotel - I thought that this was the QHotel chain but realised on arrival it wasnt! Having a pool and hot tub was great - made the holiday! All the furniture at the hotel was lovely vey chic! The bar area was nice. Breakfast was great! Rooms poorly decorated, BE WARNED…water pressure for the shower was a trickle, tv in room was too big as a standalone tv and was huge (need a smaller tv and on the wall). Squeaky and uncomfortable bed.

A hidden Gem

This charming boutique hotel exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the service stood out—especially the kind receptionist who helped with my luggage after a long journey. The hotel feels like a hidden gem, with its cozy, elegant décor, velvet sofas, and soft music creating a peaceful atmosphere. The garden is beautifully kept, featuring loungers and a partial sea view, while the pool, jacuzzi, and sauna were perfect for relaxing. One small downside: a few guests took towels and blankets, which was disheartening, especially for a family-run place that puts so much care into every detail. Breakfast was a highlight. As someone who’s gluten- and lactose-free, I was impressed by how easily and kindly the staff accommodated me—and the food was delicious. My room was spotless, the shower worked perfectly, and I appreciated the personal touch of the animal-loving owners. I’d absolutely return. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s a welcoming retreat with heart

Lovely hotel

Our stay at the Q overall was lovely. The hotel its self is of a high standard. The decor is amazing and the breakfast is banging. My only gripe would be the room. It was very small and there wasn’t a lot of room to move around. The free standing tele is so big, it takes up to much room. The basin was in the bedroom. The shower was very small. I think more attention needs to be put into the rooms to give more space to customers. Probably, easier said than done in an old building. But, saying that we would stay again. The staff were great and very friendly. Thank you.

I used the hot tub and the sauna and thoroughly enjoyed both. I would recommend it to my family. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Q for quirky decor. Room 10 was about the size of a sea cabin. "Compact" is being generous.It suits single ocupancy only. Bar area comfortable. Good choice of drinks. Hotel is close to the sea front so convenient.
