“The sea views are undeniably a draw, best enjoyed from the guest-exclusive lounge and bar; its location is superb, nestled a brief walk from Porth beach and close to the coastal path. Though some rooms are compact and the main road audible, the warm hospitality and spotlessly clean environment impressed me. It stands out for value and its cliff-top setting.”
