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.

Excellent room, service level could be better
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.

Nice big rooms
Lovely spacious rooms.
Loved the roll top bath in the room but the water wasn’t too hot.
We had been to a wedding so came home late to find the door to hotel locked & it took 5 phone calls to get entry.

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!

Room was nice but very very hot and uncomfortable at points during night.
Breakfast was disappointing as breakfast stotties ordered and one was cold and the other was half empty. Also coffee machine was not working and it was noted to make americano but it was very watery and they wouldn’t provide a caffietere or pot of tea which they used to. Service at this point was disappointing as they noted they didn’t want to make the coffee.

Lovely stay. Room was beautiful, very spacious and we were able to check in earlier than planned which was a bonus as we were attending a wedding at Newton Hall and therefore were able to get ready in the room.

Bedrooms very nice,however TVs need updating.you cannot park your car at the joiners arms it is a 3-400 yard walk to a car park.we arrived at 10 past 2 to check in and blankly told check in is at 3pm,even without asking our name to check if room was available.when we did check in simply directed to our room and told key in the door,which it was not.
We had an evening meal in the bar area and it was simply that.nothing extraordinary,however must say the staff were excellent,very helpful,polite and hardworking but understaffed,they were ran off their feet.very well done to them.
We checked out a day early on a two night booking….

Not a 5 star gastro-pub, just a pub.
The 5 stars clearly awarded by themselves, gastro pub - I think not. Its just a pub with pub food and any pretence of class evaporates at breakfast time when families from the rest of the Newton Hall estate descend on the place to fill their lunch packs from the buffet counter...
Lots of friendly staff and nice touches here and there but none of it joins up to provide a great experience.

Basic room above a pub. Difficulty getting luggage up very narrow stairs and no parking in property made it a tad inconvenient for us older folks.

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.
