Adequate but not what you would expect for hotel prices. No lunch or evening meal available. Breakfast disappointing. All self service. Nothing cooked to order,or hot. No place to relax,as you would expect in a hotel, except for bedrooms.

The location and the standard of accommodation is excellent. Our room was clean and comfortable. However, there was no fridge so the bottle of fizz we had brought for my wife’s birthday was not as chilled as it could have been. …

One of the best dog friendly hotels we've ever stayed in, and we've stayed in lots. The room was fabulous and the staff were really helpful and friendly - nothing was too much trouble. If you have a dog, and want to explore the area - Lyme Regis etc., look no further. We loved it so much we stayed an extra two nights.

Had a fantastic 10 days here! Stunning setting with the most beautiful sunsets. Close to so many places of interest for both adults and children this is the perfect place to rest after a busy day in a lovely spacious and comfortable family room. This hotel is both child and dog friendly. The proprietors and staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.
