Value for Money

Pros:

  • "Food absolutely delicious and good value for money."

Cons:

  • "£4.50 for a diet coke.. which seems extreme."
  • "Food was expensive for pub grub, but the pub is very close to the sea front and has a reasonably captive clientele."

  • "Drinks plus what we ordered for ourselves cost just over £40 which we felt was a bit of a rip off for what we got."
  • "The food was roughly £16+ for just your typical pub grub and the pints of larger were roughly £5.60 or 5.80 which is a complete waste especially for the quality of the beer."
  • "Stupidly expensive pint of lemonade! £3.40!"
  • "Paid £390 for a 3night break what a waste of money."

  • "Our room, (1) was spacious and comfortable with a large double and one single bed."

  • "Stayed for two nights in November... a well appointed & well decorated room with an enormous bed."

Cons:

  • "A bit of a shame that there was a dirty ashtray on the veranda full of dogends and the previous occupants had left their underwear in a draw that hadn't been cleared away...."
  • "1st room we were given was nice enough but sheets had not been changed."
  • "The room was very cold as the radiator was switched off."
  • "There is very limited parking nearby, so we parked at the nearest pay and display car park (5 min walk)."
  • "Room was not as portrayed in the information. Wooden flooring and a lot of noise from the room upstairs."
  • "The room was in need of an upgrade though. The furniture was basic and the bathroom was quite tired."
  • "If I had any negative points to make, it was the noisy air con unit which was positioned on the flat roof outside the window of Room 1 which was on all night."

  • "Cosy atmosphere with traditional decoration and local photos."

Cons:

  • "Pub has one bar with laminate floor which feels like a social club."

  • "It was like walking into a cafe, and no atmosphere whatsoever."
  • "Went in the front door and turned right: more life in the cemetery!!!"
  • "The pub itself is olde worlde traditional with a nautical theme."
  • "There are areas that need a tidy up, lick of paint or tlc but you could argue it adds to the quirky overall feel the pub has."
  • "Care! not very good on Covid details, ie contact tracing information or spacing."
