The staff were really friendly and helpful from checking in to leaving . The room was amazing and super clean with super comfy bed . Food was great also and restaurant bar area really nice . We would definitely come back again .
Excellent service with well trained staff; food delicious with ample choice; bedroom small but quirky and comfortable. Lovely bath and shower; nexpresso coffee maker; large fluffy towels, bathrobes and slippers.
Great coastal walking from the door.
We really enjoyed our stay. Food was excellent. Only hiccup was no hot water on the first night, which was rectified as quickly as they could.
Only suggested improvement would be to add a lamp/light switch next to the bed - it was a bit odd not to have it.
Tremendous stay at the joiners arms. The rooms had deep pile carpet, bed and shower was incredible, my wife loved it, from start to finish. Highly recommended.
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.
We had a fantastic time. Loved everything room spot on. Housekeeping great. Fabulous food breakfast first class. Staff were great so helpful. Definitely be back.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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….
Perfect and well worth a visit. All staff are very helpful and will accommodate as much as possible. I would recommend this place to anyone. Perfect for us to relax in and she said YES.
