Fabulous staff and amazing food. The room was very comfortable a bit loud as there was not any double glazing but that added to its charm.

Nice room in a friendly pub. The view from our room was stunning - across the rooftops to the sea and the bay. A very pleasant way to walk to and from the town is to turn right outside the pub and take the first turning on the right, immediately take the footpath on the left, through the woods, down to the stream. Continue to the road, then go right across the bridge and immediately right onto another (tarmacked) path that follows the stream down to the town.

Good location for visiting the area, very quiet and peaceful. Car parking was easy and free. The draft beer was excellent. The staff were friendly and efficient, The room was clean and furnished in the stile of the hotel even though the hotel was built in 2016 in the model town that showcases the vision of King Charles III. Dinner was excellent with friendly service.

It was excellent, very friendly people, I’d mistakenly booked the wrong date and they were very very accommodating. We watched the euro final in the bar, downstairs. It had a lovely local community feel and we were made to feel very welcome. Shame about Spain winning but we won’t forget our stay!! Many thanks
