Idyllic pub and accommodation with stunning views.
Pros:

Fantastic location right on the promenade. Views of the estuary from our bedroom window. We had an adapted room with a wet room and designated parking right outside the door, literally. 3 huge windows gave us stunning views and epic sunsets. The staff were so friendly and helpful and we were so happy with our break we booked a further break before leaving.

Cons:

We had no faults at all, we were extremely happy.
