Wonderful pet friendly hotel.
Beautiful location. Very dog friendly. We had a king size room overlooking the harbour. It was up a few flights of stairs but this was not an issue for us. Use of guest pantry which was a lovely touch. Very good breakfast menu. All staff were very friendly and helpful.

We love this hotel. It was our 4th visit in 4 years and it does not disappoint! The area around it is perfect for a slowed down weekend getaway full of fresh air good food and comfort. You can eat in other locations at the Weir or walk up to Porlock (bit of a long hill) or walk across to Bossington (6 mile round trip across the bay). However the pizzas on the Terrace are really great with a cider to watch the sun go down.
