Room we stayed in is crying out for some maintenance and cleaning - not what you would expect at £180.00 per night - shame really because hotel is quite "posh" but doesn't deliver on overall appearance. Food and drinks not cheap but better quality than room

Great hotel but a little remote
Great hotel and lovely stay. It is on an estuary along a narrow lane (single track in parts) and nearest town/shops a good 30 minute walk with some extremely steep parts to climb, so not for the less able in my opinion. However, a great spot to visit other pretty places if you dont mind relying on your car daily.
