Had a lovely stay at The Old Success Inn. We booked a room with sea view and were not disappointed. The breakfast was really good and kept us going well into the day. We ate in the restaurant one evening and the food was really good. Only issue was the bathroom fan was really loud, however forgot to tell them this when checking out, so hopefully they will read this review. Overall thought the stay was great.

Fantastic view, lovely food

We were able to check in early which was a nice touch, as were the complementary drinks and snacks. We ate outside in the afternoon and the burger was delicious. The bed was a bit on the soft side for my liking but I had a wonderful night’s sleep. Breakfast was lovely, but it is cooked to order so factor that into your timing. All in all a wonderful stay, will definitely be back

We absolutely loved our stay at the Old Success Inn. The location was fantastic, the room was beautifully designed, the quality was brilliant and I adored the small touches like the complimentary Korev and the Robert’s radio gently playing as we arrived. The staff were friendly and professional and made our short stay thoroughly enjoyable.
