Firstly we have stayed here before and had a wonderful experience. The property is old and consequently does not have that modern minimalistic feel to it. I think the beds could do with replacing as you can feel the springs through the mattress topper. The stairs are a challenge on par with climbing Snowden. So why did we come back? The Staff and ambience and the quality of the food and the feeling that you belong here and so welcomed. I love it. The patrons are warm and friendly and happy to chat with you. The staff are wonderful and I have to say that Ben is amazing. He sees what’s going on around corners and they all work hard. We were sorry to leave and will definitely be back.

Average over priced

Thought was a little expensive for a room above a pub . Very basic met my needs but was extremly busy and the steaks were over cooked but this was resolved but duty manager who was very helpful . Check in was not great stood in middle of bar till someone was free and then was quite a lengthy check in . 2 flights of stairs to my room . View over back kitchen area . For £99 thought abit over priced stayed better .

Room is very compact and far too hot in the evening with only a tiny window to open making a good nights sleep impossible. Room was clean but found a used condom in the bin. No hot water for a shower on last day. Very friendly helpful staff

A great visit

Hotel and staff where great Location good for beach and plenty of parking. Pub did good food and a good selection of beers and drinks Lots of stairs to room and even though good value the rooms could have a little TLC, but can’t knock how clean the room was and how fresh the bedding was. Live music down in bed but not heard in the room Great staff team that made you feel welcome. Would stay there again 👍😃
