Wow, one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at, if not the best. Our room was absolutely stunning - very spacious, beautifully furnished and amazing views of Bude and the sea. The hotel is welcoming as well as the staff being extremely friendly and helpful. Definitely intend to stay here again.

Amazing hotel. Great location, great rooms, grear bar and restaurant with a lovely vibe. This hotel hits it all but most of all it was how they made us feel welcome from the minute we walked in which topped it all. In all the hotels I have stayed at (which is many due to work), it made me realise how rare this is. Can't recommend it enough.

Just a little on the pricy side, but you get what you any for. The cocktails we had were excellent, the staff were polite, friendly and attentive. Good ambiance.
