The Waterfront Inn

The Waterfront Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Such a perfect location for the beach and all things coastal! Breakfast was wonderful and were able to accommodate my gluten allergy. As a typical Inn, the rooms are located above the pub so it does get a little noisy in the late evening but still able to sleep and beds were extremely comfortable."

"The rooms were very spacious and comfortable we especially liked the very roomy shower units. Having an en-suite bathroom for every room was rather a luxury. The owners were very kind and considerate when Morrisons decided to leave our shopping with them although we were at the accommodation to receive it. Thank you we enjoyed our stay."

"We had a fantastic time staying here!! The host Stephen was incredibly helpful with any questions we had and was generous enough to let us stay past our check out time when our car broke down!! The area had plenty to do, would highly recommend going to Clovelly as well as watching the sunset from the cliffs backing onto the house. Thank you for such a wonderful stay, we hope to return in the future"
