Wonderful Coastal Getaway

refreshing swims good beverages

The outdoor pool offered refreshing swims, and its adjacent bar provided good beverages (their cocktails are delicious!). The golf course featured nine holes, a fun activity. I appreciated the view of the Rock from my room.

I noticed the absence of USB plugs in my room. It was slightly inconvenient, considering the room's price.

Location

9/10

The hotel is located in a very scenic area with convenient access to several interesting places. Bantham Bay is easily accessible for seaside adventures. Hope Cove offers charming coastal views, and Burgh Island adds a touch of historical intrigue, with clear views.

I had a really lovely stay. The coastal views are amazing and offered a relaxing backdrop. I had super relaxing massages in the spa. The facilities are first-rate. Breakfast was spot on, and the front-of-house staff were very friendly and efficient.

The check-in time at 4 PM felt a bit late. This impacted the overall length of my weekend break.
