Little gem not far from coast and castle.

2 night stay, arriving on a Sunday early evening, check in was great, lovely staff, advised us that there were free canapés for guests at 6.45, we had a wonderful meal in the restaurant, there was a choice of roast or other items off the menu. Our room was very comfortable and clean, breakfast in the morning had a good choice of cold buffet style items and also you could order hot food from the breakfast menu. There was a friendly bar area for the evenings and a nice outside seating area too. All in all a lovely stay.

Great hotel in a quiet village within an easy drive to the coast. We paid for early check in which made our overnight stay last a bit longer and gave us a base to explore nearby beaches. Dinner was lovely and staff accommodated dietary requests. The breakfast was fantastic offering a great range of continental and cooked options. Download the app. We got £10 loaded on as introductory offer! We have already recommended to family and friends

Spacious Room

Hotel was cosy, staff were lovely, food very good. Room was clean & spacious. The only thing I would like to make other travellers aware of. The hotel is dog friendly, which it does state on the website, therefore in the dining room when eating your dinner, you could have several dogs around you, (( we had 6 )) . I would've liked to have been given the option of eating my meal in a dog free area. Only because I'm scared of them. Otherwise I rate the hotel as lovely.

Firstly, the good: staff were all very pleasant and helpful, food in the restaurant, dinner and breakfast were all good, although the dinner was a little on the expensive side, the location was good, there was plenty of parking, the common areas of the hotel were all friendly and well furnished. Then the not so good: the room we had, was a basic room and was advertised as such but really for anyone over 5 feet, you're constantly banging your head on the ceiling as the room was in the roof attic space. The tiny shower cubicle with a fixed shower head which was lower than my head was impossible to use. The room also didn’t really smell too clean, fortunately there was a sky light in the sloping roof to enable us to get some fresh air. Finally, and again this was advertised as a pet friendly hotel. I personally do not think pets ever belong in areas serving food. So in conclusion, if you love dogs and are not very tall this is the hotel for you. Otherwise I’d find somewhere else to stay.
