This is just an amazing location. It is clear that a lot of thought has gone into how the rooms connect with the unique setting along side a flowing river. Nikki went way beyond anyone should in helping me locate a new battery for my car which failed to start in the morning. Look forward to a return visit.

The overall ambiance of the Inn is quaint and relaxing. It is set in a rural countryside that is scenic. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and knowledgeable. Since breakfast was included in our stay, the price was a good deal. For an extra cost, we ate in a pub below our room. The food was good. The whole experience was everything I love about England.

Have stayed previously on two occasions and location perfect for what we want. Staff very pleasant and friendly. The scores previously have been a perfect 10 as we do enjoy staying at this hotel and everything about the hotel is very nice across the board. The food was excellent as we booked the restaurant for both nights for an evening meal again.

We had a super few days. Toby was so helpful during our stay. Fabulous location and views. It was so peaceful and relaxing too. Everything you could need for the kitchen and bathrooms was there. Loved the walk on the coast path to the Smugglers Inn and enjoyed some yummy food. Also the cafe in the carpark does some delicious food too. Would definitely stay here again :-)
