Perfect!
Both the pub and the rooms were excellent! All the staff were attentive and friendly and the views are simple incredible! We had dinner and breakfast there and couldn’t fault anything about either. The mini doughnuts were a highlight! We recommend this place to anyone looking for a short getaway, especially their Sunday stay deal! Hope to book again next year!

We had a lovely time at the welldiggers. The room was stunning and the view from the restaurant was amazing. The manager and manageress were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. Ideal situation for visiting the coast, the living museum, castles and stately homes. We would definitely recommend the welldiggers (in fact my daughter is looking to book on September.)
