Very clean and comfortable room although describing it as luxury is maybe a step too far! Breakfast and indeed all the food was excellent and the staff were extremely polite and helpful. It is a quiet location about a mile from the village so you probably need to drive. Would definitely stay here again.

Great stay. All staff very friendly and accommodating. The hotel was very clean and the breakfast choices were plenty and anything you wanted if it wasn’t on the menu and they could do it for you they did. The view from the place was great. Will be returning again.

Great little place to stay

First time i've actually stayed at premises like this as i'm usually "Travelodge" kinda person. Thought i would just treat myself and was quite surprised at the friendliness of the staff, the quality of the food and the comfort of the room. The locals use the restaurant and it can be quite busy, so booking for a table can be a must (Fri & Sat evenings), but even then the friendliness of the locals is quite good. Would recommend staying here as you are dealing with a local business, not some corporate chain.

Fantastic service, friendly staff, great food.

The staff is so friendly and accomodating, they take the best care of their guests. Room was cleaned and done while I had my breakfast. Breakfast and dinners are of fantastic quality in this restaurant which has won many aeards and even included in Michelin guides. The area is very silent and peaceful, with grazing cows across the road and sand besches and dunes very close by. If I have to mention any downsides, it's that the bed doesn't have the best back support and the room is a bit humid due to the shower in the bathroom not having an active air ventilation. But, I absolutely recommend this place!

Excellent. The rooms are spacious, stylish and everything was spotless. They are in a separate building from the pub so perfectly quiet and private. Well set up with an outdoor area. The staff were very nice and made sure you were happy with everything. Cooked breakfast was good. Nice location with a view of the sunrise out to sea at the breakfast table
