Beautiful room and lovely food (especially breakfast!) but I was woken at 3am by someone moving furniture around in the bar area/restaurant so not the best nights sleep. I guess it was bad luck for me as I was right above the area where this was going on for an hour so will try another room next time.
We stayed in Room 1 which was delightful. The staff had thought of pretty much everything. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. We ate in the pub and had an excellent roast meal. The location was great for exploring the coast on foot.
Bed very comfortable. Had a good night sleep. Breakfast was excellent. Bar area very pleasant. Enjoyed the cocktails.
Good variety of snacks and drinks in the room. The bill was incorrect but was rectified.would happily stay again.
