Spire View
A short walk to The Wave with breakfast included
About this hotel
Spire View is a simple B&B with en-suite rooms that sits close enough to The Wave for a short walk, and it bundles free cooked breakfast, soft drinks and parking into the rate, an unusually complete package for a small independent property. Its small size means a quieter, more personal stay than any of the larger chain hotels nearby, suiting families who'd rather deal with a handful of other guests at breakfast than a full hotel dining room queuing for the buffet. The free cooked breakfast matters more than it might elsewhere, since a proper fry-up before a physically tiring day supervising kids on flumes sets families up better than grabbing something quick on the way to the park. Combined with the short walk, the whole morning routine before slides can happen without ever needing to start the car.
- Free breakfast
- Free parking
- Free Wi-Fi
- Smoke-free property
Our take
This suits families who want the closest realistic walk to The Wave alongside an included breakfast and parking, and who don't mind a small, independent property over a branded chain with a full restaurant. Its very limited room count means it books up fast, so it's better suited to advance planning than a last-minute weekend decision.
- ✓Book well ahead for school holidays, since this small B&B has far fewer rooms than the ring-road chains nearby.
- ✓Ask about breakfast timing if you want an early start at The Wave, as the serving window can be narrower than at large chains.
- ✓Book directly with the hotel where possible, since third-party sites don't always clearly show that breakfast is included.

Why guests love itThe short walk to The Wave meant we didn't need the car most days, and a proper cooked breakfast included in the rate meant one less thing to plan each morning, which mattered a lot with two kids who needed feeding and dressing before we could even think about swim gear and sun cream. It's a small, simple place rather than a polished hotel, but it did exactly what we needed for a slides-focused trip.
