The hotel is in an excellent location, overlooking the beach at Polzeath. Our hotel room looked out the back rather than over the sea view, which I think, maybe, all the hotel rooms do and the apartments have the sea view. We had the lowest grade of room as we booked late and that was all that was available. A King Room, I think. The room is on the small side but we only noticed this when we first arrived. We stayed for 3 nights and it was never a problem. The rooms and the hotel as a whole are spotlessly clean with a fresh smell and look to the whole place. The room has a Nespresso machine and a mini fridge, two little extras that were appreciated. Bed was comfortable. There are shutters rather than curtains - we liked these. We were booked on a Room Only basis but this in fact includes a light buffet breakfast (coffee, cereal, pastries, toast, fruit, yogurt). This was plenty for us but there are hot options and speciality coffees available at a cost. We were not made aware of the included breakfast, we just found out by chance when we asked a question about buying breakfast. I think the inclusive breakfast is only available to hotel room guests rather than apartment guests. We were called ahead of our arrival to tell us our room was ready for us ahead of the specified check in time. We were not surfing etc but there is access to a board, wetsuit storage facility. The staff were really friendly. We will definitely be returning.
