Bedrooms was well presented, Beds was clean and comfy but the bathroom sink was impractical.
The Breakfast was prepared and sereved tepid at best.
Cant judge the evening meals as the wouldnt serve you unless you was booked in to the restaurant.

We attended a wedding and stayed in the cottage for just one night, was close to the venue clean and tidy slept six. We weren’t in it really just to sleep. The following morning had breakfast at the joiners arms which was beautiful l.

Unfortunately the Shepherds hut we stayed in was right next to the pub car park (sone might say actually in the car park) meaning we were woken at 5.20 a.m when deliveries were being made and then again at 7 a.m when staff were chatting in the car park. The cabin was very basic, lacked attention to detail or any nice personal touches as well as being very dark and gloomy. Outside furniture was weathered and not attractive. Shower was great, breakfast good but other than that it was very expensive for what you get. The food in the evening wasn’t great either. Overall I would not recommend at all.

The Accommodation was very good. Room was nice and spacious. Food was nice and a good quality breakfast. Shame about the parking, nice in summer with light nights but a bit dark in the winter.

The hotel clearly didn’t have enough staff, just two people running around covering the bar, restaurant and checking people in. We attempted to check in at the specified time of 3pm and told the rooms were still not ready, we were checked in and then had to wait a further 20mins before we actually checked in, the room was nice and very well decorated just a shame about the lack of staffing resource taking the edge off the service level which is a shame.

Very nice breakfast
I've eaten in the evenings here before (which was lovely)but this time we did a late lunch and opted for a walk to the ship along the road for a quiet drink instead.

This was our third visit and the Joiners Arms never fails to please in all areas of the business: Accommodation, cleanliness, restaurant, bar. Close proximity to the beach
Looking forward to our next visit!

The room was dark. There was 3 of us, 2 adults and an 11 year old yet only 2 glasses and 2 bottles of water. Only 2 cups. 2 English breakfast tea bags. We arrived at 2.50pm to check in to be told the rooms weren’t ready yet and to get a drink in the bar. We’d traveled for 5.5 hours so we’re happy to do this however we then seemed to be forgotten about as others checked in a matter of minutes after we’d enquired and we didn’t get a key until 3.35pm.
We ate in the restaurant and expected more from we’d seen on Insta to what we got. The food was just ok. Breakfast was a let down with the buffet being left on the bar near the door . When we got to breakfast during the recommended time slot of 8.30am there was one slice of cheese and once slice of meat left…
We wouldn’t be rushing back even though the location is great.

Food lovely , rooms a little tired looking . Staff friendly quite pricey but what you would expect I suppose for a gastro pub.
