We held our Great Granny's wake here and the experience was faultless. The buffet food was prepared and served beautifully and the choice was far better than the average buffet offerings. The beef in the petit pain rolls was tender and full of flavour as was the ham in the ham rolls. The vegans in the group were catered for very well. Individual vegetable flans, pasta and homemade coleslaw were all delicious and appeared to be gratefully received.

The small bar on site was stocked well and the prices were fair which helped regular trips back to the bar not to become a pain in the wallet. The service was attentive and respectfully friendly which helped make a sombre occasion far more bearable. All in all a thoroughly wonderful venue.

We have just stayed for 4 nights. Wonderful staff - very friendly and helpful - nothing was too much bother. Lovely room overlooking sea with massive bed. Breakfast very good as well. Eat in restaurant one night and again was very nice. Bought two bikes with us and the hotel stored in the garage for us. Thanks to Julie, William and their staff for a lovely break. Definitely recommend a stay.

The room was clean, the staff were very friendly and nothing was to much effort. The food in the restaurant called Garrods was 1st class, plenty of gluten free and vegan choices. Highly recommend a stay here or just to eat in the restaurant.

Visited the Garrods restaurant earlier this week. Excellent food (caramel cheesecake to die for) & service at a reasonable price. You do not have to be a guest to eat here either but made just as welcome. Liked it so much we returned later in week.

Excellent food, a good bar and very friendly staff. Parking is limited on the premises in busy times. Single ensuite rooms can be restricting but double rooms seem very adequate. In general very commendable situated in a good location.
