    It is not about what we didnt like, but small hints.. there was a small problem with door (they were slightly moving each time someone in the hotel was opening or closing their door..and with leaking stopper during perfect bath. And it would be helpful if widows would not be so hard to open or shut. But these are just details.

    One of the best we stayed in the last few years. Amazing design of the room and lights, very comfortable bed (!!!), bed linen and toileters (such nice smell). Nice bathroom and view from the windows. Small fridge and everything that we needed. This was almost perfect stay.. Too short and just few small things.

    Amazing location with a fantastic view of the harbour and of Instow opposite. Beautifully decorated, clean rooms with really comfortable beds and lovely additions including proper coffee and biscuits, lovely scented bathroom products, and additional snacks available for a small fee. Attached to a lovely pub with really friendly staff, and a great quiz every Sunday! Would return to stay here every time. We loved it.

    Excellent decor and styling in keeping with the location and setting. Good size room, lovely decor quality bed linen, large bed, modern well sized bathroom and lovely double aspect windows. Excellent food, both evening and breakfast. Staff member Michelle was great, very helpful and always cheery. She made us feel very welcome.

    On the Tuesday evening I arrived at around 6pm. I had already booked a meal through yourselves for 7.30pm. I was hungry after a 3 hour direct journey with a stop off at relatives. I was offered a meal with them but abstained because I had booked at The Seagate. Having stayed before I was looking forward to a good selection on the menu. However, they had sold out most of the food on the menu and each choice I made they hadn't available. The only choice was Steak which I went ahead and ordered. When it arrived it was more well done than I wanted and I found a large grain of fat running through the middle of the steak. This was a very disappointing start and prevented me from having an evening meal for the rest of my stay. The Staff member did explain that they had been unusually busy that lunchtime, but I still felt that a food allowance should have been saved for the evening sitting. Breakfast and accommodation was excellent and would not prevent me from booking the Hotel again. However, in future, I will phone ahead and make sure there is a full menu for an evening meal booking.

    Breakfast was excellent every day with plenty of choice and Staff attention was also excellent

    Booking .com site said this hotel has no parking which was not true they have a small car park for guests of 9 spaces. We purchased a tourist permit for £40 online before we left home which entitled us to park in any Torridge council car park for 7 days, which is great if your visiting different places however we just wanted to park up for our 3 night stay and explore the area by foot. the Quay car perk is 5o meters from the Seagate and we noticed on the payment machine that if you only stayed in that car park it was £25 for the week, there was also free on street parking although this was normally full however at 9am in the morning there seemed plenty of spaces. When we visit again I would try the hotel car park and street and if all full I would pay for 1 hour on the payment machine in the Quay car park and keep an eye out for the free parking. Booking.com needs to get it's facts right and maybe best to book direct with the hotel to get the correct information.

    Full english breakfast saw us through to the evening, it was excellent.

    The room was so comfortable. The extra touches like the basket of snacks were very welcomed. My room had a coffee machine, a fridge, and an electric fire for the winter months. The TV had access to Netflix and Amazon Prime, and the bathroom had an amazing shower and a lovely deep bath. It was all very clean and in a great location.

    Parking near the property was hit and miss because locals obviously have to park their own cars. In the council car park across the road you were guaranteed parking but you had to pay for it!

    It was modern and fresh and in a scenic location. The view was looking over the sandy beaches of Instow during the day and at night the reflections on the water was stunning with the twinkling lights lit up!
