Great family run experience

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 4 weeks agovia mobile
Stayed here over the past 18months visiting in the area on business. Rooms are comfortable, tastefully decorated with home comforts, good desk space & WiFi for working. Alex’ meals are amazing, great food for dinner snd breakfast. Peaceful with little noise , mostly birdsong .Staff are friendly and Julie & Alex are welcoming along with their team. Always ask what else they could do for you . Swimming pool a bonus too. I would highly recommend this hotel , have stayed in several in the area and this is simply the best .
Situated perfectly for easy access across the coast.
Date of stay: August 2024

We have just returned from a four day stay at this hotel, it's unusual layout being explained by its history. We stayed with friends, one of whom is a wheelchair user, and she found the facilities excellent, with disabled car parking almost outside the door of her room and a flat path leading to the dining room. We stayed in Room 9 which was large and airy, with a very comfortable super-king bed. This room also has an upstairs 'snug' with another TV, but we had no need to make use of this, particularly as the weather was lovely during out stay. Our room also had a good sofa, lots of storage and surfaces for 'things'. The bathroom was a decent size with a walk-in shower and a long shelf for toiletries. In addition we had a small kitchenette area with micro-wave, fridge and cutlery and plates sufficient to be able to cater for ourselves if we wished or at least have breakfast. All in all very spacious. Our friend's husband very much enjoyed the swimming pool and did not mind having to book in advance and wear a swimming hat. Behind the hotel is a lovely area full of flowers at this time of year and then a delightful small lake that we walked around many times. We had both breakfast and dinner at the hotel every night because the food was so good! Alex, the chef/owner often cooked specials in addition to the short menu and we could pick and choose items from the dishes. The dining room is pleasant but lacking in natural light. Staff were all charming, friendly and helpful.
The only downside I found was the traffic noise when sitting at the tables and chairs outside the room, but we were not disturbed at night, even with the windows open as it was so hot (fans provided in the rooms). There is charging for electric cars (we have one).

Room tip: Room 9 is really lovely for couples.

Stayed here for a family wedding. Julie and Alex couldn’t have been more helpful. The food and accommodation were excellent and the staff who looked after us were very professional and proficient. All the rooms were very clean, well maintained and really comfortable.
Thank You all so very much.

Room tip: Great for the wedding venue at Curds Hall Barn.

Visited the restaurant for a celebratory meal. It's nearly 20 yrs since we last visited and can't believe we have left it so long. We would say that this is the best meal for quality, choice and value we have had for a very long time. Living only a few miles away we will be returning. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. There are restaurants close by that are pretty good but for us this is the best experience of recent years. Well done.
