Warm welcome, spotlessly clean & very comfortable.
Pros:

We had a really warm welcome from the owners, who were lovely. They are in the process of renovating the property but it is spotlessly clean & has everything needed for a comfortable stay. It was a perfect location for the wedding we attended.

Cons:

Nothing!

Great once finished
Pros:

The hosts were very accommodating & the breakfast cooked by father in law was delicious

Cons:

All the stairs as room was on top floor, but in all fairness the house has just had new owners and they have a lot of work to do, & our room was first to be done, it will be amazing when finished.. Also WiFi needs sorting as no reception at top of house

Too expensive during refurbishment
Pros:

Central location in West Bay close to restaurants and pubs.

Cons:

Too expensive for the room and especially during current refurbishment (which is very needed), should be at least £30 cheaper per night. Room was really hot, bed small and uncomfortable, didn’t sleep well at all. Bad layout of rooms. Loud when the “pub” was open downstairs. Not clean. Should be more consistency between rooms eg all include breakfast or not include breakfast. The email we received on booking had incorrect information about the pricing of breakfast so that needs double checking to avoid any confusion and should just be simpler. Just have one price for breakfast or include it for everyone. Especially at the price of the room, it should include breakfast for that price.

Perfection in a pillow!
Pros:

Loved everything about our stay, including the quirky wonky floor in our room! The new owners have done a great job renovating so far. Perfect location, really comfortable bed and super comfy pillows.

Lovely location to enjoy West Bay
Pros:

Location was perfect for access to West Bay. Atmosphere was relaxed with a small pub/bar for evening drinks with a community feel. Although we visited when it was very hot and the accommodation had no air conditioning. The room felt cool and fairly well ventilated.

Cons:

Was advised on arrival included breakfast was continental and full English was a lot more. Continental breakfast was good but would have appreciated clear information about type of breakfast being offered as part of booking beforehand.

A great location. Clean & tidy with the added value of a pub. The room was good other than all the bathroom faciliti
Pros:

A great location. A friendly pub included. The kitchen team were excellent.

Cons:

The sink in the bathroom was ridiculously shallow. You couldn’t bend you head to wash your face and clean your teeth.

See you next year
Pros:

Friendly informative owners and staff Excellent location with car park. Great to have a bar on site

Cons:

Continental breakfast needs looking at! Worth asking a bit more on room rates for better quality ingredients. Would be better for me to have a savoury choice or two, slices cheese , sliced ham even a jar of marmite Not a didn't like that will stop us coming again though
