"The best of British traditional hotel. Fabulous views over the coast and amazing walks nearby. We were impressed by the extremely friendly and helpful staff. The hotel has been renovated and it was wonderful to have new towels, bed linen etc., as well as the refreshed decor, new curtains and beautifully equipped, luxurious bathroom.
The breakfast was excellent, freshly cooked and delicious."
