"The property is just gorgeous and renovated really well.The host was really helpful and available. Unfortunately for us the weather was foul and made our trip a bit of a challenge. but the proximity to the beach was fabulous and for kids a great playground right across the road."

The Rutland Arms Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Rooms are very spacious and extremely well decorated. No lift but the barman assisted us with luggage. The room attendant is 75 but she is an absolute gem and very thorough with the room makeup. Bar downstairs is not noisy and has great food BUT I didn’t like the vanilla rice pudding. "
