weekend stay
Our stay was lovely. Room, food and staff could not be faulted.
I have a garlic intolerance and the chefs were helpful and supplied alternatives, that were delicious.
Hope to return in the future.
Big thanks to everyone.

Lovely hotel, stylish mid-20th century look on the outside, room inside very up to date, with under-floor heating, walk-in shower, very comfortable bed. All very clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good location, just a short walk from the coast path and beach. Meals in the restaurant were excellent and reasonably priced.

Love this hotel, great family atmosphere. Hoping the refurb doesn't loose too much of the originality this place has. Otherwise will loose his quaintness and staff and be too expensive and will change the clientele.

A hotel full of charm and warmth.
A really atmospheric hotel in an amazing location. Full of character and charm. I would really wish it never changes.
Wholesome personality of more than just a hotel. Wood panel bar, reading room, movie theatre, games room, open log fire. Very comfortable rooms, warm and very updated bathrooms.
Lovely attentive staff. A spa with indoor and outdoor pool, jacuzzi plus two saunas.
Fantastic views over the ocean and countryside with abundant deer wandering around.
Really is a slice of England from the past.
Full of character.
I recommend it to all.
