friendly staff amazing cocktails nice stay unnecessary wardrobes small space hot duvet
The staff was friendly from the first moment I arrived. The room was exceeding my expectations. All the staff helped to. Special mentions go to Ali, he works in the restaurant and the crew behind the bar, their cocktails were amazing.
The layout of the room was not very user friendly. There were unnecessary large wardrobes and no space on tabletops. I found a small space to walk around the bed. the duvet was way too hot.

Really good Service and Comfortable Stay

helpful staff excellent pub gorgeous bathroom excellent location
The staff was very helpful and always available. The pub offered excellent drinks. The bathroom (it was gorgeous!) included modern fixtures. The location made it easy to explore nearby attractions.
The room I was given had a small window that faced an internal walkway. It felt a bit dark.

The shower was excellent. Luxurious toiletries were in the bathroom. They included L'Occitane products. The bed was very comfortable. A short walk took me to the beach and The Lanes.
I did not understand that the environmental initiative also meant that my room did not get made up each day. I wouldn't have chosen this if I'd known.
