Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Spacious room, wonderful sea view, quiet mostly except for inconsiderate guests making a noise after various returns to the adjacent room from the wedding at the hotel. Not the hotels fault. Breakfast was ok. Ran out of cooked items at 9 am despite finish at 9:30. A cafeteria experience. Didn’t eat dinner, very uninspiring budget coach party fayre.
Lovely room with fantastic view.
Very pleasant staff. Food was excellent.
A little chaotic over staffing levels to cover bars. Sign would say a bar was closed and to use the other bar in the restaurant but when you went to that bar there were no staff working on it. They had to leave the restaurant to serve the drinks.
Have stayed on a number of occasions and will definitely book again.
Having stayed at The Haven on several occasions previously we found the breakfast very disappointing when compared with our previous stays. Car parking also has a new regime in place. Rooms seem as before. The menu for evening meals was also much reduced from previously- so we ate out during our stay. All things considered if and when we travel to the area again we will look elsewhere for accommodation. Pity really because we have some fond memories of our previous stays. The hotel itself seems unchanged and is in a great position.
Lovely clean room , comfortable bed
Sea view
And delicious breakfast
Staff very friendly , lovely atmosphere

Liked: Cleanliness
Position on mouth of river. Clean good breakfast and evening meal.
Staff seem unhappy not very welcoming.
Conflicting information both on line and in hotel.
We stay here regularly and are never disappointed.
Only area to change would be the sockets in rooms to have the phone charger incorporated within them.
Excellent hotel so friendly and right next to the beach is a bonus. Very surprised that it's 3star.
We have stayed here a few times and would recommend it to anyone

Liked: Staff & service
Beautiful location and excellent staff. We felt well taken care of. My one critique, is our bed was listed as a king bed but it is only a queen. They ended up moving us to a room with two beds, but they seemed surprised with the feedback about the bed size.

Disappointing
Stayed at The Little Haven several times and previously enjoyed our stay. Service and food quality in the restaurant poor, some very overcooked, another dish unrecognisable. Breakfast was okay. Lounge area is more like a cafe area and bar often closed. Bedroom was comfortable but getting dated.
I have stayed here a few times now. The staff are friendly and the location, sea view, is lovely. Food choice was a little limited for dinners but what I had was good. Breakfast was very good. I will definitely return.
Poor service at lounge bar..1 evening waited 10 min for bar person.give up and went too room..2nd night waited 10 mins eventually some one turned up..not good
