“Here's my take: this spot has clearly found new energy, shaking off old pub vibes for something fresher. I noticed it's a comfortable base for exploring-close to the beach and local spots, plus the owners sound genuinely invested in making stays feel personal, and I appreciate that. It's the kind of place where you can see yourself unwinding in the garden after a day out.”

Based on recent reviews

Guests frequently praise the spacious and very clean rooms, often highlighting the convenient location near the Rodwell trail and Castle Cove Beach, only a 5-minute walk away. The full English breakfast, featuring local sausages and bacon, is consistently described as delicious and of high quality.

perfect coastal path access

friendly staff great breakfast

the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, just what we needed after a long walk. the bus stop is very close for trips. i found the breakfast to be great (especially the cooked options!).

i noticed a slight smell of smoke in the corridor outside my room, which could be addressed with better ventilation or smoke detectors.

A mixed experience

uncomfortable bed smoke smell

The bed was not comfortable. I think we were the only people at the hotel. It felt cold, and staff only turned on the heating upon our arrival. There was a noticeable smell of smoke in the corridor (it wasn't pleasant).

I found the bed to be unsatisfactory. It lacked appropriate support. The shower was substandard too. Water pressure was minimal, and the temperature fluctuated. The inadequate shower detracted significantly from the overall experience.
