Wonderful treat in the English Riviera, no where better in the world!
Pros:

We absolutely loved everything about our stay, this was treat for our 30th wedding anniversary and although expensive for us it was worth every penny.

A peaceful, beautiful setting - we’ll be back!
Pros:

The location is second to none - the best view I’ve had on the uk. The local seal popped its sweat little head up outside our balcony most days, and we were lucky enough to also see dolphins in the bay :) genuinely bang remember a more peaceful holiday - we’ll be back!

Cons:

The breakfast was lovely when it arrived, but a bit unorganised and could’ve done with more pastries for the price.

Food staff excellent. Accommodation hopeless
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent as was dinner with good wine to choose from

Cons:

On booking I asked for a room with a sea view and en suite. We were given a cottage with all the accommodation we did not want and there was NO sea view. I was told there were none available yet I booked one. We were very unhappy

Absolutely wonderful - will 100% return
Pros:

Location is amazing! The quay, the water, the walks - all fantastic. The views from the beach huts were just magnificent. So quiet and peaceful.

Cons:

There’s nothing that I disliked but would warn guests that it’s not super accessible, the hill to and from the Cary Arms is extremely steep and single track. If you are staying then the staff will
Park your car but it’s a climb when walking to and from the hotel.

The gym is small and needs air conditioning. Weights go up to 5kg only so if guests are gym bunnies, don’t expect this for your usual workouts.

Pros:

Beautiful accommodation and views over the cliff top.
Staff lovely and helpful. Particularly the Reception ladies. Definitely coming back.

Cons:

Maybe a little more choice and differences between lunch and dinner menus - food was nice but didn't match the other outstanding facilities

A wonderful relaxing break. Just as we hoped it would be. Cant wait to come back.
Pros:

All in all a very relaxing and peaceful environment. The food was good and the view was outstanding. Extremely beautiful. The most helpful and welcoming staff.

Cons:

If i had a little criticism it was the long dark hair that was behind the toilet door on the floor. These things happen. Didn't spoil anything
