Good Hotel Guide Review

Sub-tropical gardens with spectacular sea views are lent an extra touch of magic by the witty artwork that fills them at this quirky hotel, which also features unusual furnishings within. Look out for a stone cat on a wall, a human-sized fairy, and a zebra-striped sofa beneath a bull in a top hat. Interior decoration is ‘vibrant’, comments a reader, occasionally ‘kitsch’ but this doesn’t detract from the ‘simply excellent service’. You could spend all day gazing at the ‘lovely sea view’ and ‘interesting grounds’, although the South West Coast Path skirts the gardens. Return to drinks on the terrace – perhaps their own-label gin – and ‘brilliantly cooked meals’ such as fillet with truffle butter or local salt hake with prawn dumplings. ‘The food is absolutely delicious.’ Rooms are themed with colourful wallpapers and fabrics; perhaps nautical stripes, wood panelling, decadent golds or a woodland theme, and are ‘luxurious without being heavy or old-fashioned’. Some have a private garden or patio, one has a balcony and hot tub. ‘Generous’ breakfasts include smoked haddock and eggs how you want. (Martin and Emma Leuw, MC, and others)
