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.

Room was fabulously clean and decorated lovely. Staff were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. The food was delicious. The location is great, very peaceful and quiet. Great walking location. You will need a car to travel to nearby Sidmouth and the surrounding area due to the location.

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.
