“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.”

Really good Sea View Experience
easy access coastal walks
The location provides excellent access to the beach and coastal walks. The sea view from the room was really nice. I found the staff very helpful and polite. They created a relaxed atmosphere. We felt very comfortable with our dog during dinner.
I found the breakfast pretty dismal with a limited number of stale croissants. There was no yogurt available on day two. The cereal selection was not replenished, and the cooked options used poor-quality ingredients. I think someone did not really care.

location good, but some issues
cheap toiletries black mold
the room i booked seemed pretty worn. the grouting in the bathroom needed work. the provided toiletries felt cheap, and the toilet paper was really thin. also, i spotted some black mold around the bedroom window frame. it was annoying to see these issues in a place with such potential.
We enjoyed one night in a well-appointed room overlooking the bay. The comfortable beds and recent redecoration added to the appeal. Despite minor water ingress on one wall, the room felt fresh and cute. The attentive and friendly staff enhanced our short stay.
