Sleep Well


Our approach to the bedrooms is based soundly on a maxim often forgotten by hotels: that a night’s sleep will only be as good as the bed itself.

So we source only the best Vi-Spring beds.  It is no coincidence that our visitors’ books and inbox are full of requests for their details.

Our bedrooms are about melting into one of the books that lie around the building, listening to a Radio 4 play on the Roberts radio or staring out to the sea or to the sheep flecked moors.

Some guests are even sufficiently hypnotised to wait for the hooved shuffle of the cows on their twice-daily amble to and from milking.

What you will see in our rooms are those Roberts Radios, fresh flowers, Bramley toiletries, local art and warm, Welsh blankets.

And your breakfast will set you up for the day. Cornish yoghurt, house-made jams, local apple juice, toast you make when you want it and a choice of kippers or a full English breakfast. If only we could join you. 

The Sunday Sleepover

So popular, we should trademark it. Includes Sunday lunch, supper, your room and breakfast on Monday.

What could be better than kicking back after Sunday lunch and watching everyone else retreat to the Sunday night blues.

Now applying all year round. From £315 per couple at the moment and a little less while the Winter Escape runs.

Choose a room

We will shortly post photographs so that you can choose which room best suits your needs (Room 3 is above). In the meantime here are some simple descriptions.

Room 1 has more than a glimpse but less than a view of the sea. Room 7 definitely has a view of the sea. But don’t be fooled into thinking the views of the moor are second best.

Rooms 3 - 7 all have baths with shower over and new shower rooms make Rooms 1 and 2 much improved.  Room 8 has the exciting prospect of a distinct bath and shower and even a separate loo.
