I haven't had a chance to stay at this beach, but I've been here multiple times for dining and afternoon tea. The atmosphere, surroundings, and views are truly outstanding. The staff goes above and beyond, taking excellent care of the guests, and they are always willing to assist with anything you need. And let me tell you, the food is absolutely incredible!

We recently stayed at the hotel for three nights and it was absolutely delightful. Our room balcony offered a stunning view of the cove, and we were equally treated to breathtaking views from the restaurant. The staff provided exceptional service, being incredibly attentive. Each night, we were pleasantly surprised with a unique menu, and every meal we enjoyed was truly outstanding.

The restaurant's location and service are exceptional, earning it a solid five, if not six, stars. During our first visit, we had a party of 13, including young children, and the staff efficiently and hospitably handled everything with a great sense of humor. We felt well taken care of. Because of this wonderful experience, we decided to return for Sunday lunch with our in-laws, and once again, I was impressed by the staff's excellent service. They provided us with a truly old-fashioned attention to detail. While the Sunday lunch was enjoyable, the food didn't quite reach a five-star level. The dishes were nicely presented with generous portion sizes, but I was slightly disappointed, particularly with my bread and butter pudding. The custard was too thin, and the pudding looked like a messy assortment slopped into a bowl, lacking raisins and flavor. However, my dining companions thoroughly enjoyed their lemon sole main courses and cheesecake desserts, which were unanimously declared as delicious and freshly made. So perhaps I was just a bit unlucky.

The staff at this beach are absolutely fantastic, so friendly and warm. It's like stepping into a forgotten British seaside hotel, where they are open for business almost year-round. Their Christmas and New Year specials are absolutely amazing. The owners are always present, ensuring that the high standard is maintained. It's the perfect place to stop by for a quick lunch or indulge in some delightful cream teas.

The terrace at this beach is the best in town, offering an amazing view of the cove. The staff is friendly and professional, and the Devonshire Cream Tea is definitely worth the price. Make sure not to overlook the room that is made from a real shipwreck.
