Matthew C.
The sitting area is lovely, and the location is beautiful. Service was very nice too. I do highly recommend it, though my Diet Coke at £4 felt a little pricey and my mom’s coffee was a bit small. The coffee itself was VERY good.

The setting is excellent, with vast views of the sea, and having a family occasion made the visit enjoyable. The interior felt rather indifferent and in need of heavy investment, though. Staffing seemed a bit chaotic and lacked polish. Service was passable, and I liked my food less than that, although others in our party enjoyed their roast dinner. The place felt pretentious and overpriced, but the company made the meal a fabulous family gathering.

We went for a wedding and everything was amazing. The staff were attentive and happy to help with anything, and the food was excellent, especially given how many people they were serving. I can see why the bride and groom chose this as their special place. I can't comment on the rooms, as we didn't stay overnight.

Really lovely lunch. The bream, chocolate mousse and petit fours were all excellent, and the service had a nice attention to detail.

We had a late lunch outside with a lovely view of the coast on a beautiful day. I was there with my Dad and stepmum. The cocktails were spot on, the food was delicious, and the service was excellent. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Afterwards I walked down to the beach and dipped my toes in the bay. I forgot to take a photo of the place, but there are others here, and I'd highly recommend a visit.
