NC500 stop - lovely hotel
Excellent stop on our NC500 holiday. The room and bathroom were lovely and clean with the only thing letting the bathroom down was very limited storage for toiletry bags. The staff were all really friendly and the food was lovely.

Perfect place to stay
Fabulous place to stay. The hotel is on a hill with sea views in some of the rooms. Staff are great, service was excellent , hotel is spotlessly clean and we had dinner and breakfast here and both were delicious. Probably the best place we stayed on our NC500 tour . Get a sea view room if you can.

Overated.
Very basic room, clean but no complimentary water in room. Reception was unmanned so access to service involved going into the bar to request anything.

We enjoyed the cottage option for our family of five. The view from the hotel and restaurant is breathtaking, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable, and the food served on site was delicious. We hope to be back!

A great stop along the NC500 route! The views were absolutely amazing and the atmosphere throughout the hotel was warm and welcoming. Our room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, with a tasteful, minimalistic design that made the space feel calm and comfortable. We really enjoyed the tasty food, and the staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. It’s also very dog friendly, which made our stay even better. Would definitely recommend stopping here — it’s a perfect place to relax and take in the scenery.
