very nice but pricey
Pros:

The food was good, the location unreal, the staff were nice and we had a very nice stay

Cons:

food was expensive but good, it felt like the hotel was going through changes and not really settled as a location. Like we ere staying at a work in progress which for the price was something I wasnt expecting. It took the edge off a bit. It is such a great spot

A sumptuous break on the most beautiful coastline
Pros:

The location is amazing. The room was gorgeous. The staff are lovely and attentive. The breakfast was delicious, as was lunch. We enjoyed all the facilities, and loved how the place felt small and calm.

Cons:

The bed and pillows were a little hard, but that’s really it!

Pros:

The room and bathroom were a really good size and beautifully decorated and clean. It was in a very useful spot for walking the SWCP. There's nothing else around there.

Cons:

It was more than we'd normally pay for a room but at the same time we got more for our money.

Idyllic spot.....hard to beat!
Pros:

The ambience, the food, the accommodation and the staff!

Cons:

A bit remote, the drive to the property is not for the faint-hearted but once there... its idyllic!

Again, one wouldnt leave the property by car unless your trip to wherever was close by, but for walkers its ideal!
