Unclean and shabby.
Cons:

We didn't stay. We walked into the room and saw how badly it had been cleaned and walked out again. The place hadn't been dusted, the linen was stained, the bed smaller than advertised, the bathroom fixtures hadn't been cleaned including the shower screen and huge water leak stain on the ceiling in the bedroom. Shabby at best!
It is also on the main west coast road

Pros:

Lovely people, very dog friendly. Dogs get a welcome pack and their photo put on the dog board. Nice garden and courtyard. The food is good, huge choice for breakfast. The bed was so comfy! About a 10 minute drive to the beach. Would definitely go again.

Simply outstanding
Pros:

Probably the nicest friendliest Staff we have ever come across. Nothing too much trouble. Polite, professional and treated us and our dog like royalty.
Room clean and tidy… all good facilities. Food choices fabulous and really good value for money. Excellent wine and beer choices. Really couldn’t fault the place. Highly recommended

Cons:

Only small issue is it’s on a bit of a busy, main road and some way away from any local facilities.
