In a fantastic location with fine views of the beach, the meal quality at breakfast was excellent, with generous portions. The room was cramped and didn't meet expectations for the price, and while the staff were friendly, the dinner menu felt underwhelming, offering typical pub fare that lacked creativity.

Staying for a short family getaway was just what we needed. The location was absolutely beautiful, and we loved waking up to the sound of waves rolling in. The coastal paths nearby offered stunning views, and the breakfast menu had something to please everyone. A highlight was definitely dining on the beach, which added a special touch to our evenings.

We loved the fine views from our Superior Double Room and the dog-friendly vibe! The local art collection was a lovely touch, and having a fridge in the room was super handy. Plus, the relaxing beach access was exactly what we needed after a long day exploring.

Staying in a Beautiful Double Room with Sea View, the beach was literally at the doorstep. The freshly cooked breakfast featured excellent quality produce, and the staff were notably friendly and accommodating. The occasional dog smell reminded us of the hotel's pet-friendly nature, and the narrow lanes surrounding the hotel require careful navigation when driving.

The New England style decor gave me warm, coastal vibes as inviting as a friendly hug. The bright, airy lounge areas are perfect for seniors to relax and safely enjoy fine beach views.
More accessible seating in dining area would help.
