Very nice establishment. Parking private and easy. Close to beach. Restaurant/dinner good quality. Staff friendly. Decor good. Room comfortable. Slightly noisy in evening in room as others eating/drinking below us in outside space but not too excessive on this particular occasion. Generally an enjoyable stay. Would return and recommend to others.

Great location, small but comfy room with lovely mattress on the bed, friendly staff and good choice of breakfast items (continental and cooked). We were able to check in early as our rooms were ready and there was plenty of parking in the hotel car park (out of season). The only negative was the soundproofing between rooms - we could hear the entire phone conversation from the man next door and throughout the night, could hear bathroom fans running.

I booked a deluxe-plus room but I think we may have been put in a deluxe room as we had no armchairs as shown in the deluxe-plus photos, and the furniture and decor wasn’t quite like the photos. We were also warned that there was still wet plaster on the wall when we got to our room, which wasn’t a massive problem but when I went to the bathroom there was lots of crumbly plaster all around the sink and the tap was splashed with it! I was surprised that it wasn’t cleaned up before we checked in. Nevertheless, it was still a nice, comfy stay and the mattress and pillow were probably the best we’ve ever had in a hotel. Unfortunately the metal bed frame squeaked really loudly with every single movement which wasn’t great at night! The staff were lovely though and very helpful, and the restaurant downstairs is really nice with a cosy country feel. The food was great too. It was also nice to have such a good selection of tea/coffee/hot chocolate in the room, and some free biscuits too! And the location was perfect - only a 2 minute walk to the pebbly beach, and there are 2 other pubs within a 1-minute walk! I would definitely stay here again.

Have stayed here previously. This time we upgraded from a Comfy Double to a Deluxe. The room was much more of an upgrade, the decore and finishings were top notch. Very comfortable.
