The place has a very “ hippie” relaxed vibe. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Everyone we encountered was welcoming
Pros:

It was right on the beach! We loved our room with the ocean view and the sound of the waves crashing.

Cons:

This is not applicable. It was everything we were looking for.

Traumhafte Lage mit netter Atmosphäre!
Pros:

Die Lage direkt auf der Klippe war fantastisch! Das Zimmer war sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet! Ein kostenloser Parkplatz direkt vor der Tür! Auch die Bar und das Restaurant waren von der Einrichtung sehr schön!

Cons:

Der Service hätte besser sein können. Beispielsweise mussten wir uns das Besteck für unser Essen selber holen, die Teller wurden nicht abgeräumt.

Top spot, falling asleep to the waves, beach walks, swimming, very dog friendly. The staff are all very individual showi
Pros:

Location is insane (in a good way) all the staff absolutely the very best. They share great vibe with all the guests and the locals too. Outstanding walks both ways along beach.

Cons:

The lamb chops were delicious even though I ordered and expected the lamb rack. Same with the Californian Pinot noir when I ordered the Bulgarian.

Disappointed
Pros:

The position of the Inn is glorious.

Cons:

Superior room very small.
Ordered prawn and crab linguine for dinner. No crab! You can see the crab pots from the inn!!
Waited 20 minutes for our dessert which we then cancelled. Restaurant was empty...no reason for slow service.
Breakfast no fruit, croissants, cereals on offer, just have to choose from the limited menu.
No chorizo, no avocados, no brown sauce.
Knowing you have guests staying you would expect to have all your ingredients for at least Breakfast!!
Very poor service 😢

Such a shame as we were on our honeymoon and wanted somewhere special.
Except for the location which was glorious, our stay wasn't the best!

A disappointing stop over at the Inn on the Shore
Pros:

The location, restaurant evening meal and comfortable bed.
The food was well cooked, most enjoyable, served by helpful staff, with a good menu

Cons:

The Inn/pub is in need of some TLC.
It needs painting in the bedrooms as well as the main area's.
The bedroom we had was small with no room to open suitcases or feel comfortable
Furthermore the bathroom was also small with little room to dry off after showers. It also had a very noisy sink tap when turning it on, which also created water swamping the top of the sink.
The carpets were filthy along the corridors and are in need of a deep clean.

Pleasant stay but if we return will ask for a different room.
Pros:

Lovely location by the sea.

Cons:

We stayed in the Seaton room, though the room was well decorated to a lovely standard once the kitchen was open there was a really strong smell from the extraction which was also very noisy.
