i don't have a pet . breakfast seemed quite rushed if you came to sit around 9.45 they were clearing just after 10am and you had to order as soon as you sat so not allowing you to have much time to eat from the continental i feel it would be a good idea to have a coffee pot left at the table as opposed to keep asking for a refill. our first breakfast was cold and the bacon was like a leather slipper not what i would expect from this sort of establishment. albeit the staff are all very helpful and pleasant.

Everything was fine with our stay, apart from the water being off throughout the whole hotel on the Sunday morning. This lasted for several hours. When it eventually came back on, we had to really rush to shower and get ready for a lunchtime function. Very stressful and it spoilt our visit.

Size of the room. Our particular check in woman wasn't very warm. Quite an aggressive tall man at breakfast (I was going over to see my husband and I was shouted at from across the breakfast room). Most staff were nice though.

The Relais Cooden Beach hotel was excellent in all respects, the staff were all superb and gave over and above what one would normally expect. One small problem was with the walk in shower - although it had full grab rails around the shower valve there were no support rails between the door and the valve position, probably 2.5 m distance and my disabled husband did not feel it was safe to traverse this distance with no support as he walks with 2 sticks, no problem if in a wheel chair but to walk with 2 sticks on a wet / slippery surface was dangerous. it would be beneficial if grab rails were positioned to give secure help around the perimeter, a minor detail for able bodied but with dodgy legs etc a big No No. otherwise everything was great
