Stunning views and cosy pub
Pros:

The location was stunning and the pub itself was so cosy. The room was comfortable and pillows AMAZING! Shower was lovely. Overall everything was fantastic. Would definitely recommend to anyone

Cons:

It is cashless, which was addressed on one poster only. It didn’t put us off but being able to pay cash nowadays is always good.

Pros:

Beautiful location and cute traditional inn. Would stay here again.

Cons:

Food wasn't quite as good as expected. May have just been a bad one-off - they were extremely busy.

It’s a place of great character
Pros:

The location is great. We were sadly there for a funeral wake, which they did exceptionally well. Very comfortable bed and everything spotlessly clean. The staff were lovely.

Cons:

The room was small and hot- no air con. This was September- it must have been unbearable in the heatwave. It was over decorated with quite a lot of clutter round the walls and I don’t like pointless and twee soft toys on the bed. The bed-side lights were not working. The breakfast was underwhelming - overcooked bacon and sausage. This is a pub with rooms, not a hotel, so I think it was overpriced, given that it’s rated as 3 star and it was out of the holiday season.

Great staff, great location, nice room. Food alittle bit disappointing and drinks abit over priced.
Pros:

The menu offered lots of variety, the food was a good standard but not amazing. The staff were all lovely and it was very quiet for sleeping (sometimes an issue when staying at a pub!). The room was clean, good bedding, great decor.

Cons:

We had breakfast included which was good value. We also ate dinner and lunch there. The food was abit over priced and i think there is a 25% mark up for the location, for example, a very small portion of chips was £6.75, 2 drinks (1 pint of beer and a G&T was £19!).The room was a bit stuffy. Would not like to have stayed there in hotter weather we've had this year, it was only 23 degrees, we slept on top of the duvet and used the fan :)

We enjoyed our stay but would have expected a bigger room for the price we paid.
Pros:

It was right by the coastal path. It had a good vibe and was busy in a good way.

Cons:

The bedroom was very warm, the window did not open much. There was limited space for suitcases & clothes.

Kurioses Ausflugsziel mit einzigartiger Atmosphäre
Pros:

Kuriose Einrichtung, erstklassige Lage in den Klippen/Dünen und moderne Dusche, nur 10 Zimmer, herzliches Personal. Wanderungen von dort aus prima möglich mit tollen Ausblicken.

Cons:

Geräuschkulisse bis tief in die Nacht von Besuchern und Restaurantgästen. Das Hotel ist gleichzeitig ein äußerst beliebter Ausflugspunkt. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis etwas erhöht.
