Room with a view
Fantastic location and view from our room, really comfortable and welcoming. Great breakfast and added bonus of yoga class if we wanted to greet the day. Love to go back!
I went for my birthday & chose the hotel for the location, stunning views & closeness to the Minack theatre. Stunning location, right on the beach, the staff were very attentive and couldn't have done more and all in all made it a very special stay for my birthday.
Lovely relaxing stay. Room exceeded expectations and the having the pub downstairs was so nice for a drink in the evening after being out walking all day.
The location was absolutely stunning! Watched the sunset over the cove. Staff were welcoming and kind. The room was just lovely- so many thoughtful details. Highly recommend!!
