Great pub, lovely people with...

Liked: Cosy pub with nice decor and super friendly staff. Bedrooms are super quaint, some with great views of the sea.
Disliked: Sadly our room had recently suffered from a leaking roof and smelt musty with some damp and mould. Struggling to dry it out so going to have to close the pub to do a full rip out and fit new bathrooms and redecorating throughout

Would definitely stay again

Liked: Welcoming and hospitable staff, great beer and very good food. Staff rang and realised we had traffic challenges and would miss the kitchen so made sure we had sandwiches ready on arrival.

Outstanding

Liked: I must appreciate the hostess who looked after my daughter who was having problems with her university accommodation and had to shift out at short notice. They made her feel at home and she even dropped her to uni once as she missed her bus. It was a great help to my daughter who was living away from home and country for the first time. I'm very grateful
Disliked: Nil

Excellent accommodation, food and hospitality.

Liked: Room was very clean and the food was excellent. The staff were friendly and very accommodating
Disliked: There is no parking linked to the property, as it is on a very small one way street. However, if you get there at the right time you can park on the road, and there is a car park nearby offering free overnight parking
