Exceptional. Wow. We will be back. The staff were extremely friendly. Nothing was too much. We were amazed at the quality of the food at the restaurant and the menu. Such obliging staff. Such talented chefs. The quality of the scallops, the monkfish and plaice were superb. The bedroom was wonderful. Very comfortable and wonderful to have a terrace and sea view. The bathroom had a roll top bath with bay windows where you can sit and look out to sea. Above all it was the care for a special birthday. They helped make it so so special with exceptional pre-ordered cake made by the chef (fabulous) the most joyful flowers exactly per my request but even more beautiful than I could imagine.

Lovely location and hugely attentive and helpful staff team who are better than anywhere else i have stayed - absolutely superb. The food is of a very high standard too.

James United Kingdom

The room was very spacious and had lovely views of babbacombe beach. The bathroom was a lot bigger than expected and I loved that the shower bits were the white company. The bed was also very comfy and I liked that we had free biscuits/tea in the room. Also very friendly and warm staff. Overall just very nice.

Everything ! We were delighted with our cottage. Everything we wanted was included , it was amazing . Fantastic log burner

Deborah United Kingdom

Room was massive. I think maybe 5 star was a bit much, but excellent. Everything clean, laid out perfectly.
