The inn was fantastic. The reception front of house staff were extremely friendly and kind. They offered us a hot drink on a rainy miserable evening on arrival. They also sorted us out with a drink to go on our departure to London. Everything from checking in to checkout was top class.

After a day on the beach we were so pleased to arrive at this gorgeous gastro pub with rooms. Beautiful, and comfortable rooms with lovely style and welcoming touches, and our dog was welcomed happily and given her own bed and there was even a dog shower area outside. Dinner outside was delicious and a great breakfast menu too, traditional and healthy options also. Thoroughly recommend and hope to come back.

A few things to consider

A lovely place overall. My room was very comfortable and It had everything I needed. (the photos don't do ut justice) There were lots of small touches that were thoughtful. The staff were friendly and very professional. A few negatives: It is by a very busy road so okay if you need to be up early! The outdoor seats and tables could be kept cleaner. There was a rat on it's way to the kitchen bins when I sat outside in the evening and the pub toilets seem much loved by flies. completely understand its in a rural location but... An earlier breakfast would be really helpful for business travellers. Unfortunately for this reason I will probably need to book elsewhere next time (They do offer 'breakfast on the go' as an option). The food looked lovely but were beyond my budget with a top price of £110 for the chefs special. Lots to recommend this venue but a few things to consider.
