Connor in his shed was particularly welcoming and thoughtful, we especially loved the private garden. Although a single night the Masons will remain a highlight of our trip to the UK.

Charming little pub stay good beer and food and in a lovely area close to beach and lovely village and challenging coastal and cliff walks. Our only complaint is that our room 25 was almost unbearably hot at night even with the Dyson fan going all night. Not sure if all rooms are as hot but understand that they all have the fans!? Will likely return in the hope that another room is cooler!?

Staff were pleasant but very slow in everything they did. It wasn't even busy. Check in was good. Room was a dream. Evening meal was good. Breakfast was nothing to write home about. I had Eggs Benedict. Nothing special Check out was efficient. It was a good stop on my way through walking. I probably wouldn't choose to go stay there.
