Expect a warm welcome & great food!

We had a fabulous one night stay at The Inn on the Shore. The staff were very welcoming and the food was exceptional, both evening meal and breakfast. Great value for money and we wouldn’t hesitate to return again.

Overall a enjoyable stay with very comfortable room and friendly staff
Pros:

Lovely location overlooking the beach.
Friendly and helpful staff.
Evening entertainment was a bonus

Cons:

Some of the meals were disappointing for the price. A small piece of chicken and a cup of skin on chips for around £20 was expensive for what was served

Viel mehr als ein Strandlokal - ein herrlicher Ort für ein paar perfekte Tage direkt am Strand.
Pros:

Atemberaubend war der Blick vom Bett aufs Meer (inklusive Meeresrauschen, aber das störte nicht). Geschmackvoll eingerichtetes, wenn auch recht kleines Zimmer, dennoch zweckmäßig alles vorhanden und hübsch eingerichtet - auch der Hund hat sich sehr wohlgefühlt. Inklusive kostenlosen Parkpkatz - in GB keine Selbstverständlichkeit. Lecker essen am Abend gehörte auch dazu - wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und wären gerne länger geblieben.

Cons:

Not good value for money.
Pros:

The view was very good 👍

Cons:

The place in run down. The banister leading upstairs to accommodation was dirty. The room was small for the price. The tv remote didn't work. When staff were informed they said it might need batteries but didn't offer any replacements. I stayed during a week day and the room overlooked the beer garden, at night the noise of shrieking guests prevented me from sleeping. I was under the impression that their menu was good but l found the food overpriced and bland. Apparently breakfast was not included and had to pay for it. Staff attitude was to blame the booking agent.

Great spot to explore more of the south west coast
Pros:

We were hiking the south west coast so we only had a one night stay here. It's always lovely after a long day hiking to arrive somehwere nice, where the host is very welcoming and you feel you can just relax and prepare for the next day's hike. Thank you for a lovely stay.
