Fantastic stay, great walks and very enjoyable stay.
Pros:

We loved the room, good size and sea view, plenty of room for us and our dog.
Breakfast was really good, well cooked and good choice.
We didn’t eat in the evenings but we had Sunday lunch in the Seafood and Grill with a couple of friends and really enjoyed it. Robin who served us on Sunday and at Breakfast was excellent.

Cons:

The only minor issue was the control of the heat. At times the room was very hot and the radiator and towel rail were not very responsive. The communal areas were very hot as well, which seemed unnecessary. It was a relief to get downstairs to the restaurant which was an ideal temperature.

A pleasant experience apart from dodgy booking changes.
Pros:

The staff - friendly and professional.The dinners were good , the breakfasts excellent.
The room was comfortable if a little small.
Excellent bathroom with a large bath and good supply of very hot water.

Cons:

The booking process.BOOKING.COM offered two day cancellation and payment at the property i.e. on arrival.The BRUDENELL took the whole cost from my card two months before my arrival and changed the cancellation period to seven days.Not acceptable.
