The Two Lifeboats

The radiator in our room was blaring out heat and we couldn’t seem to turn it off. The manager came in and fiddled with it and said she would be back later to see if it had gone off. When we came back later that evening it was still boiling hot and so had to have the window wide open and the curtains open all night so that it was bearable. When we reported it again in the morning the manager didn’t seem interested. The base of the bed was dirty and the mattress so soft we couldn’t move without disturbing each other. The sheets and duvet cover hadn’t been ironed and were so creased it was not a pleasure to get into. Two of the pillows were like lumps of concrete. Not a good nights sleep. The sink in the bathroom was badly stained and the wall by the bin had old tea and coffee stains. The only saving grace was the location and the breakfast was ok. We will not be returning especially for the premium price they are charging.

I had heard from several friends that the desserts at 'The Two Lifeboats were amazing - they were not exaggerating! I had the Berry, Cherry cheesecake tonight - fantastic, melt in the mouth texture 'cheesecake' lots of jammy fruit in the topping. Apparently, a brilliant baker called Summer makes desserts freshly every day. staff are allowed to add some decoration- well done, Keira - it looked 😋

Average food, poor service. There was a waitress wandering round but seemed to be in a world of her own. Asked for a glass of water- never arrived.
