Great staff and service.
My dog and I had a lovely stay here and we were both made to feel very welcome. The staff are all very warm and friendly. The accommodation is quite basic but clean and comfortable with a comfortable bed and hot shower, everything you need. A very well cooked breakfast is also included in the price. I didn’t have dinner but the food looked very good and well presented. The outside of the venue and garden areas could do with some TLC and tidying up but I think the business is still a working progress. With a little more attention in this area they will have a winner. This was my second stay and I will no doubt book this venue again. Their best asset by far is their staff and this on its own is what draws you back and I would highly recommend this venue on this merit. It makes such a difference to be greeted with happy and engaging staff. Service with a smile goes such a long way and is so important in making you feel a valued customer. I hope this business continues to grow and thrive and I wish them all good luck for their future.

Local place to stay
Nice local pub, amazing food, no breakfast though, that's probably because it's just been taken over, alot of potential.

Disliked: Amenities
Friendly staff. Clean and comfortable bed and reasonable shower. Adequate breakfast but a bit uninspiring - eg no choice of marmite, marmalade, peanut butter etc, just strawberry jam. No shower mat. No decaffeinated coffee. No toiletries. Convenient location (9 minutes drive to Aldebough).

Not great for the amount it cost
All the details at time of booking lead me to believe I'd get a good meal and breakfast. Which didn't happen. The photos should not portray what is not available. the "chalet' was pretty poor and dated.
