We’re staying nearby and the pub was recommended to us by the home owners. Did not disappoint and not as expensive as other coastal restaurants. Lovely pub as part of the restaurant and beer garden looks fab. Staff were excellent and food really enjoyed by all.

We had a very enjoyable evening and the Staff were great, very accommodating with our dogs, the radiator being turned down as it was on & 19°C outside. The food was very good. It's alot quieter there than it was in August! (Not surprisingly). Definitely will be back in this week.
