- "Breakfast excellent" - "The Hotel Was very good , the food was exceptional. I all so think Sara and Steve were a lovely couple. Would stay again. Thank you for a lovely stay." - "Very good indeed, super comfortable ground floor room, with view. Had breakfast and evening meal there, dining room is beautiful, tastefully arranged plants and flowers. View over a lovely garden and hills. Charming hosts, one of which is a talented chef. What lovely prepared and tasty food it was. We stayed 3 days and nowhere was too far away to drive to seaside. We took our little dog, large grounds to walk and she loved the space to run around away from the house. They have everything there, including a pool. Just perfect."
