Luxury One Night Stay with Dinner for Two
Teppie · 04-10-2025

Very good value for a treat.

We only live across the bay and took advantage of the offer with buyagift. The weather was wonderful for our early October trip and I fell asleep in the garden, surrounded by choughs, after the best mussels that I had had for years. [lunch not included but reasonable] The room was very clean and warm and quiet. No sea view but not expected in the special price! Pleasant dinner and large choice at breakfast. Staff working hard and still cheerful at the end of a long season. Will hope to return with another offer!
