This was our third stay at The Bank House and the staff in general have always been friendly and helpful. The Bar areas are well appointed and service was good. Our room ( Purfleet ) was at the top of the building and had a nice view over the square. The room itself is a little dated ( Bathroom in particular) but had nice touches like a coffee machine / nibbles etc.

Excellent location next to the Quay and within easy walking distance of the town.
It’s an historic building with very well appointed rooms, a restaurant which serves good food and popular bar all supported by courteous and friendly staff.
