Sunday Lunch Excellence

“During my recent visit, I had the pleasure of enjoying a good Sunday lunch. I started with the crab risotto, which was scrumptious. The main course featured slow-cooked beef that was simply amazing with the perfect Yorkshire pudding. The dessert, particularly the Prosecco jelly with ice cream, was a lovely finish to our meal. The food was beautifully presented, and it was evident that the team takes pride in their menu.” view full review

Really good Room Comfort

“I stayed in a superior suite and was blown away by the comfort. The room was spacious and well-appointed, boasting a bay window with comfortable seating. Waking up to the sounds of the sea made the experience even better. The little touches, like the steel cafetiere and quality linen, created a perfect cocoon during my stay.” view full review

Luxurious Bathroom Experience

“The bathroom in my room was simply fantastic—spacious and well-designed. The quality of the fittings was evident, making it a relaxing retreat after a day of exploring. It was evident that attention to detail was a priority, which added to the overall experience of my stay.” view full review

Peaceful Sleep Quality

“I cannot rave enough about the quality of the bed in my room. The mattress was incredibly comfortable, offering me a peaceful and restful night's sleep. It’s rare to find a bed that feels just right, but this one did, ensuring I woke up refreshed and ready to enjoy each day of my stay.” view full review
