Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers stunning views with wonderful garden terraces but falls short in dining experiences. The service is top-notch, and the location is ideal for a peaceful getaway near the beach.
The hotel is located above a small bay north of Woolacombe, offering panoramic views over Woolacombe beach and the sea. The room had an excellent view of the sun pipe, but the bedroom was not cleaned properly, and the undersized bottom sheet was a drawback. The dining experience with a wonderful view overlooking the bay was marred by very poor instant coffee served in a cafetière.
The hotel offers stunning views from both windows in a beautiful setting, but the dining experience was a bit lacking. The friendly service and wonderful location compensate for any drawbacks, making it a worthwhile stay.
