“In my opinion, the inn certainly stands out with its cliff-top beer garden, promising magnificent views to accompany locally-inspired meals. Its proximity to the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and nearby beaches makes it ideal for those seeking coastal exploration. While the historic charm is undeniable, some rooms apparently need refreshing, which is something to keep in mind.”
