On arrival staff friendly and helpful seated us quickly.
Sunday roast!
Food here is outstanding top notch food.
I don't think there was a thing on my plate I didn't not enjoy 100%. 4 stars as there could be slight improvement eg more veg options. Price was fair for the quality of food.
Will 100% eat there again when I'm in the area.

This place is popular both in the holiday season, and out of it by local people. Friendly staff and good range of pub fayre and proper beer, including a carvery. Good value, plenty of room. It is quite high up with great views over the bay.

Wonderful location - great uninterrupted seaview from our room (5). Food in restaurant was quite good and reasonably priced. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Room was clean and of a good size - bed comfortable. Shower lacked power. Larger tv would have been appreciated. All in all a very enjoyable 3 day break and we hope to return.

Had a midweek carvery. Not a huge amount of choice but good enough to make a decent meal. The staff were very kind helping people carry plates. All customers were asked to put plastic gloves on before serving themselves. Carvery is served at lunchtime daily.

On first glance it seemed a very nice and friendly place. It accepted dogs which was a bonus for us as we take our dogs on holiday with us.
We ordered a couple of pints of real ale and two pork fettuccine dishes. The fettuccine dishes had lots of flavour just a shame the pork had a lot of fat on it.
We then ordered two more pints but left before finishing because I overheard one of the bar staff make a rude comment about me. I had noticed a seagull outside destroying a table so in a jovial way said "seagull attack, seagull attack". One staff member said I think she has had too many real ales
