    underwhelming dinner menu
    high-priced food

    In a fantastic location with stunning views of the beach, the meal quality at breakfast was impressive, featuring generous portions. the room was cramped and didn't meet expectations for the price, and while the staff were friendly, the dinner menu felt underwhelming, offering typical pub fare that lacked creativity.

    We loved the stunning views from our Superior Double Room and the dog-friendly vibe! The local art collection was a lovely touch, and having a fridge in the room was super handy. Plus, the relaxing beach access was exactly what we needed after a long day exploring.

    Staying in a Deluxe Double Room with Sea View, the beach was literally at the doorstep, making it an ideal location for beach lovers. The freshly cooked breakfast featured excellent quality produce, and the staff were notably friendly and accommodating. the occasional dog smell reminded us of the hotel's pet-friendly nature, and the narrow lanes surrounding the property require careful navigation when driving.

    The views of the beach from the room were breathtaking. The high-quality breakfast buffet offered a delightful variety of options, exceeding my expectations.

    The amenities were somewhat basic considering the room rate.

    Couple's getaway with unexpected touches

    The room was beautiful and well appointed, and I loved that there was a fridge with fresh milk so I could make a proper cuppa after a long day. the food was superb. dined in every night and the staff went out of their way to accommodate us.

    It wasn't the cheapest option out there, but honestly it was worth the price.
