Meals draw praise for generous portions and value, though breakfast starts late for early departures and the restaurant can be busy, so booking helps. Cleanliness is generally strong, but a few reviews cite tired décor, occasional dog odours, or missed housekeeping, and one very negative stay reported poor room condition. The property is dog friendly and well placed for beach walks and public transport. Overall, expect a good-value coastal inn with straightforward rooms.

Hotel in an excellent location for coastal and woodland walking with a regular bus service to other holiday locations nearby. Friendly staff provided a great service in the bar and restaurant which had a varied menu. We intend returning to this location.

This is a lovely old inn overlooking the ocean. Our room was big, bright, and very comfortable with two windows looking out over the ocean and village. The bathroom was a bit tired, but that is to be expected in an old building. The staff were absolutely wonderful! Breakfast isn’t served until 9 and we had to leave by 8, so the chef quickly made us up two breakfast sandwiches for the road.

Clean and fresh room with sea view. Plenty of space for adults and 3 kids and 2 dogs! Although I have a dog I could smell that the room allows dogs, maybe needs airing or room spray more often. Nice new bathroom suite but height not adjustable abd I'm short! Lovely food and brought to room because late in the evening for my youngest. Staff were helpful and friendly at every turn. Back door for evening use but able to use to unload our car. Quite narrow so a larger access would be good but really it was very helpful. I would definitely go again and it was affordable through the App.

I have stayed here 3 times now and loved every stay. Staff are so friendly and helpful. We were able to take our little dog who had a great time on the beach which is practically outide the door. The only suggestion i could make to improve the experience is that the bedroom we stayed in needs a bit of redecoration to the ceiling. Apart from that a brilliant, restful break with tasty and delicious menu choices. Thanks guys x

Pleasant helpful staff, at check in and breakfast. We did not have an evening meal. We booked a sea view double room. The view was the highlight for us. The room was a good size, with a decent bathroom. An electric shower, so not as powerful as a rainfall shower. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate and bottled water provided- with the largest mugs we’ve ever had in a hotel room.A good selection of cooked breakfast choices along with cereal and juices that you helped yourself to.
Pleasant helpful staff, at check in and breakfast. We did not have an evening meal. We booked a sea view double room. The view was the highlight for us. The room was a good size, with a decent bathroom. An electric shower, so not as powerful as a rainfall shower. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate and bottled water provided- with the largest mugs we’ve ever had in a hotel room.A good selection of cooked breakfast choices along with cereal and juices that you helped yourself to.

The staff were fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble, for them. The food was great and portions were massive. We could not finish our food. The only downside and we meant to say, before we left, but shower rod was quite loose.

Just a quick one night stay. A lovely room, great food served at dinner and a very good breakfast too. The staff were excellent, couldn’t have done more to make us feel welcome. We will definitely stay again to see more of this beautiful coastline. Thank you

Very friendly, helpful and attentive staff, the breakfast was delicious and of a high quality. The Waterford Arms is in a great location with fabulous sea and coastline views. We would definitely stay there again.

Lovely location, friendly staff, exellent breakfast. Downsides were the bed was very hard and didnt know that hotel had been booked for a party so it was very loud and difficult to get to sleep.
