“The rooms here present a generous sense of space, many with substantial bathrooms and those prized sea views to catch the morning and evening light. I found the hearth-side dining particularly appealing on a blustery day, with a menu that, though not vast, delivers well-executed pub fare alongside a notable selection of ales. Parking out front is a practical convenience, and the team downstairs proved wonderfully helpful throughout my visit.”
