“I see this as a particularly fine choice in Devon, its clifftop location makes it ideal for a low-fi escape. The fact that they have family-friendly self-catering apartments, cinema and spa complete the circle for a memorable stay. The location is truly special, and I believe it's worth the somewhat challenging drive.”

confusing heating system no hand soap
The room was a good size. Breakfast had a great selection.
The confusing heating system was a major problem. The staff could not explain how to set it so it was far too hot in the bedroom. No hand soap was provided in the bathroom even after another guest raised the issue the previous day.

Mediocre stay overall
confusing thermostat irritating music
The beds were comfortable offering acceptable rest after a long day.
The heating system was very confusing with an analogue thermostat and digital controls I did not understand. I asked a staff member for assistance but they were unable to explain it to me. The music played in public areas was irritating.

car park view dirty bathrobe
the location was by the sea, and it did have fabulous rooms.
our bedroom was overlooking the car park which was a big shame. the sitting area had water stains, and it was dirty. i put one of the the bathrobes on, and i found a swimming pool fob in the pocket which clearly meant that it was not washed.
