We had a lovely weekend here. The friendly staff made us most welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was delicious & beautifully presented at both dinner & breakfast, the room was spacious & spotless and the massage we had in the spa was one of the best Ive had. The coast path is right on the doorstep providing stunning views from the cove view bedrooms and the restaurant/lounge. A true gem of a hotel.

We had a lovely stay here. The staff were so friendly, the room very comfortable, the restaurant served good food and there is even an area where you can dine with your dog, so rare in this country. It is situated in a beautiful vale leading down to a secluded cove. Such a wonderful spot

This hotel has the most amazing sea view that I have ever seen. The room was so spacious, beautiful and very luxurious. If you book through the hotel you get a free cream tea which I thought was a nice touch. Lovely indoor swimming pool, gym and spa available, unfortunately we did not do any of these but when we return next year we will experience them all. Most amazing scenic walks but you need to have a reasonable amount of fitness to tackle the walks. All of the staff were so friendly and welcoming we have booked for next year before we left the hotel!!!.

Stayed for two nights Our room was clean but in need of updating. The garden outside also needed some attention. Food was excellent and the staff were very helpful. Good place to go if you have dogs.
