If that's the place I think it is, the hotel has or used to have a Land-Rover on "stilts" to negotiate the causeway even at moderately high tides.
I don't mean it looked like one of those daft, pseudo tractor-racing things with jacked-up suspension and over-sized wheels, but as I recall seeing it in the 1980s, the car was on a substantial steel frame a few feet high above the wheels and specially-built transmission.

@Perry1968 Thankyou!
My visit was in the 1980s.
We'd detoured from the main road on our way home from a day in Devon, to look for somewhere to eat. We found the buildings opposite (If I recall the whole place correctly), a supermarket-like warehouse holding a pseudo-village so twee and false we decided its prices and food quality would match, so scuttled off to find a real pub serving meals!
I live in the county next door - Dorset - so lots of lovely scenery to explore there as well.
