Great place - highly recommend

Fantastic hotel. I typically stay at modern 5 star hotels with work and this was a great place (and I (unfortunately) have a pretty snobby taste). Staff great, older look but modern facilities.

We had a very clean room , but , being a person needing an accessible room and facilities to have to walk up a slope or 6 steps and the across to the far corner of the car park to find our very nice accessible room was hard work and detracted from the old world ambience of this lovely Pub /Hotel. The Staff did for warn us of the steps at the time of booking. There was no Dedicated Parking bay for disabled patrons any where near the Accessible room that we were allocated. If at all ! We enjoyed the menu and all the staff were very attentive to our needs and most welcoming. We enjoyed our stay despite the above but with a little more consideration in design from Management on the issues raised above this could have been a brilliant experience.

What a wonderful hotel set in an idyllic thatched village. Everything about the place is top notch. Menu could be a little more adventurous and offer more seafood option given it is so close to the coast.
