"Cold wet day in the middle of summer, it was a welcome sight following a walk along the beach. Quaint, nostalgic interior."
"My only issue which could definitely put me off coming back, is the strong smell of urine coming from the upstairs toilets into the area where you're sitting eating your meal."
"Fab place for a drink and pub grub, staff so friendly and interior very quirky, loved the place. I do however think they should ditch the smoked glass windows."
"Nice little bar by the coastline. Great selection of drinks and reasonable prices. Found can also be found there."
"Great pub but upstairs toilets have CCTV in no notices highly illegal in fact I've just reported this to the data commissioner and the licensing authorities."
"Changing my review due to what I saw today ..pub selling takeaway beer and allowing large groups of people standing around drinking this causing congestion in the walkway when we are having problem with Covid .."
"Doesn't look much from the outside but quite nice inside."
