Very disappointing
Pros:

The only good thing its approx 5 min walk to the beach.

Cons:

The room was, dirty/dusty mould around windows and mould around shower area, wall paper coming off walls stains on bed sheets. The room we were put in did not match the photos on booking.com website that we booked. It was so bad we checked out early and did not spend the night.

Great location - Superb breakfast
Pros:

Great location, ideal for me as visiting family nearby. Lovely pub, great food and fantastic breakfast with standard pub accommodation. I arrived on a very hot day and fan in the room wasn't working, advised a member of staff and the problem was sorted straight away. Helpful and friendly staff, nice overall atmosphere.

Cons:

Not a complaint - but the room I stayed in was a little 'tired' and could no with a bit of an update, but overall clean and had everything I required for my stay, and I will definitely look to book again when in the area.

A relaxing short stay in a friendly pub.
Pros:

Inn in the Park is a pub with rooms rather than a hotel with a bar. However, that didn't detract from our stay, it was friendly and comfortable. Dinner was tasty, and the breakfast was excellent. Our room had everything we needed. It had a nice outdoor sitting area and was within easy walking of the beach.

Cons:

Our bedroom was a little tired and in need of a refresh, but it was well equipped.
