Our stay was wonderful despite the weather. Fabulous spot for the beach and dog walking. Cannot recall a friendlier staff not just to us but to our canine companion who was very nervous of other dogs but was given unstinting patience and attention. Parking excellent. Food was delicious if over-generous in portions!

Great pub with rooms. Rooms are quirky and individual and very comfortable. I was in a cozy double, which looked out over the road and the picnic area of the ‘posh’ chip shop; this was not an issue apart from no net curtain which meant I either had to close the blind and be in dark or creep around - needs to be rectified please

Great location, nice staff. Far too many dogs for me though. It says ‘dog friendly’ so fair enough, but this was on another level and in every dining and accommodation area. It was very busy and almost every customer had a dog. Dogs with their faces resting on tables next to their owner’s plate… You have to be a dog person to enjoy this I think.

A brilliant dog friendly place to stay

Having recently got a second dog we wanted to trial a dog friendly hotel and see how well they behaved and how well we coped. We were pleasantly surprised at how well behaved both dogs were. We were very happy with the hotel staff who were all friendly, courteous and helpful. The hotel is perfectly located next to the beach access. We had a king size room and it was huge with a vast bathroom too. Plenty of room for us all to enjoy. We ate both Sunday dinner and breakfast during our stay and the food was delicious. We will definitely be returning.

Beautiful individual room. Not standard soleless room. Beautiful seaview from room. Restaurant was extremely helpful by making me a vegetarian, gluten free salad with assorted cheeses and new potatoes. This was not on the standard menu, but very tasty. A very good experience and would love to return.
