6/10 Good

Stayed in building opposite the pub, the room was very small and in need of a little TLC. Food in the Joiners was very good, the parking is very limited with only four spaces, there is a free car park nearby. Only stayed for one night so not to much of an inconvenience...

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.

4/10 Fair

No Parking on site. No help with luggage up stairs,rooms accessible via door marked toilets at back of bar.Had to leave a £50 credit card deposit in case we had to use the bar,not exactly 5star!!! Room was dusty above eye level,no information booklets in room,no telephone to reception,shower did not drain well and flooded bathroom floor,loud music from bar past 11pm.If the Company regard this as five star. they are deluded beyond belief This is an average pub with a few rooms and a lack of facilities and is a bit tacky.

Beautiful rooms and delicious breakfast

Fantastic stay. Everything was perfect from the friendly welcome, the beautiful room and delicious breakfast. We are already looking for an excuse to stay again. Highly recommend.

Really enjoyed our time here, the room was very nice and cosy, catering is really good with breakfast included and the staff are helpful. In winter it may be difficult tomget around if you dont drive though as public transport is extremely limited and there isnt too much in the area.

Lovely place, staff nice and friendly. Evening meal not the greatest however restaurant was very busy so maybe it was my palette. Thanks to staff for fitting us in at last minute. Would def recommend staying at the Joiners. Lovely nearby coast and easy free parking at hotel. Thank you.

Just ok, didn’t live up to what we’d seen on Insta

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.

We stayed in tye tweed suite which has a hot tub in the back garden. The hot tub was not private and we had other parties looking out the window into our garden area. When we arrived at 4.45 we tried to book in for dinner and we told that we could have a table for dinner now, but apart from that they had nothing else for the evening. We had to book and drive 15 minutes to another restaurant. On our way out at 6.30 we popped into the pub for a pop and there was lots of tables not being used. Don’t understand how they couldn’t accomadate us. Car park is not outside the property. You need to walk 5 mins up the street and park in a car park which in my eyes was not safe at all. When having to walk to our car to got for food the road to the car park was pitch black. Not one street light on. The property inside was lovely, and the breakfast was Nice.
Georgia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Check in went OK. The location is really nice, rural and peaceful but not as quiet as it seems. More traffic than you think but it’s still peaceful and a nice location. Staff a mix of friendly and some not so friendly or welcoming. We ate dinner in the bar - food was good and tasty, although very expensive. There was a lot of it - I would be quite happy with slightly less and it being cheaper. Breakfast was disappointed - no real direction. The cold breakfast was OK but not 5 star. We came down an hour before breakfast finished and there was not much there, it hadn’t been refreshed/restocked e.g. butter, bread, fruit, yogurt, pastries, etc. A lot of people came down after us as well. The hot breakfast looked good and was well presented. Quirky interesting room, good standard, lovely and really nice. Beds comfortable and the shower is really good. Really good sculptured elephant towels on the bed - kudos to whoever did those :-) Only 2 sets of water, glasses, cups, hot drinks despite booking for 3 people. This seems to be a fault in most places we have been to. Not sure it’s five star - no tissues, cracked glass, really dirty/sticky cup, no biscuits. Would I recommend … Yes as even though I don’t feel it’s five star, it’s a nice place.

Lovely room, location good. However a very busy pub, full every night, which resulted in busy staff and noise from the bar until 10pm. Good to see a busy pub, but this isnt always helpful if you're early to bed!

Oldy-worldy charm in a converted attic, complete with a copper tub (separate from the bathroom). The only (minor) downside is the narrow, steep staircase to two of the rooms which might be troublesome for some people. Excellent 5-star breakfast.
