Comfortable and enjoyable stay
The decor in the room was a little outdated but it was a reaaly good size with a balcony overlooking the water. The bed was very comfortable and there was a desk with a chair as well as 2 other chairs and small table. The bathroom was dated but a good size except the shower was tiny. However everything worked and it was clean. The front desk and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful. The menu in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast was wrll priced and good variety with several gluten free options.

When we walked in the welcome was lovely the setting was nice and clean. Headed to the room was easy to follow and rooms were nicely kept and clean.
Headed in to the bistro for dinner handed 2 menus that were different. Then went to the bar were 2 bar staffed looked at us without a word then walked away till another person can to take our order. Who was also confused on the menu as we were didnt know there was pre-made cocktails in can to order. Went to get water and the glasses were hot and unpolished and some were dirty .got the good which was 10/10 couldnt fault then sat with the dirty plate for 40min till we left so to sum it up birsti serive was poor which let down the standard and beauty for which we paid for.

We had a most enjoyable stay, however the service at breakfast was very slow and the choices not clear. No price for coffee or juice ! The whole thing could be presented better, help yourself to juice, filter coffee and DIY toast butter etc. Would save the delay and confusion. The two boys there were doing the best they could but everything took too long.

Lovely outlook across the bay. Had to climb the stairs with our bags which would be difficult for less able travelers. Food was good quality in the restaurant and staff were friendly.

Location excellent. Noise from wedding reception overwhelming, impossible to talk to partner during dinner in dining room. Meal was substandard - beans inedible, with only a few pieces of chicken in meal ordered. Shower stall ridiculously small, toilet also small and unstable plus rooms not sound proofed.

Good for a stopover
We booked here a bit last minute after some changes to our plans. It's an odd venue - it seems quite new and very well laid out, rooms are spacious and comfortable, rooms fittings all great - and yet there seems very little else going on in St Helens. I can only assume a lot of travellers use the town as a break on longer trips. It certainly wasn't busy while we visited mid January.
Restaurant and bar has a huge deck with nice views across the water and wetlands (we had warm sunny weather). Food on offer was typical bistro food, and breakfast was a little underwhelming but ok.
Apart from the small town centre, you can't walk anywhere from here; we had to drive to swimmable beaches or any bushwalking areas.

Couples getaway
Spacious room & bathroom but the shower cubicle is very small, however I’m told all bathrooms will be updated and the shower recess will be bigger, tv screens are to small to watch comfortably from bed or chairs, if in bed larger pillows or extra ones in the room to support your back whilst watching tv. The food is quite good & the views are great as is the location.

We enjoyed the tranquility of the hotel, having the bistro on site meant we didn’t have to travel to dine. The meals were delicious and the staff were welcoming and helpful.
