Very warm welcome from all the friendly staff. My room was external to the pub but it was lovely and warm (despite freezing temperatures outside) it was nice and spacious and had lovely facilities, nice bathroom and very clean. The walk from village to beach and the surrounding little narrow lanes are great if a tad challenging and I would recomend a stay here.

Overall a great stay. Friendly staff, nice room and nice food. Comfy bed. Great location. Parking was difficult. The room was very warm and there wasn’t a thermostat to make it cooler. Even after turning the radiator off it was still uncomfortably warm (it was early April, outside temp around 10 degrees). We asked at reception and they confirmed that the room didn’t have a thermostat. The people in the room above us made quite a lot of noise and there was little sound proofing (very creaky floor boards). Luckily it stopped after the first night.

Great place - highly recommend

Fantastic hotel. I typically stay at modern 5 star hotels with work and this was a great place (and I (unfortunately) have a pretty snobby taste). Staff great, older look but modern facilities.
