Good Hotel Guide Review

‘Pretty well perfect’, Toby Ashworth’s seaside hotel on the Roseland peninsula, founded nearly 30 years ago by his grandmother, continues to please. ‘The ethos is a little old-fashioned,’ which is much of the hotel’s appeal for regular visitors: sheets or duvets are provided according to guests’ tastes; a valet is available to unpack bags on arrival; silver service is the rule in the dining room. Homely, ‘comfortable’ bedrooms, many with a balcony or private terrace for the best sea views, are ‘a pleasure to be in’. No two are the same, but all have fresh flowers, armchairs, plenty of magazines. ‘We had to change rooms in the middle of our stay (my mistake), but it was managed with the minimum of fuss and inconvenience.’ Come dinnertime, chef Richard James serves a ‘delicious’ daily-changing five-course table d’hôte menu. ‘They encourage gentlemen to wear jacket and tie at dinner, but with no overt disapproval if you don’t.’ Less formal meals are served in the nautical Quarterdeck restaurant. Travelling with family? The facilities are ideal: croquet, a safe beach, a ‘superb’ heated outdoor swimming pool. (David Lodge). This hotel is a member of Pride of Britain hotels.

Guest comments

'Old-fashioned in all the best ways: sherry by the bedside, flowers and fruit, biscuits and tea and coffee. Five-course silver service dining room; hors d'oeuvre and dessert trolleys. The fish and shellfish were excellent. Feather-light scones and simple homemade cakes at tea in the lounge, alongside loose-leaf tea choices. . Deliciously warm swimming pool, large wooden hot tub on the cliff in sight of the sea. The views and quiet are glorious. I fell asleep to the sound of the sea every night. There are many spaces in the stunning gardens to sit and enjoy the views. And best of all, NO piped music! ' - Tessa Stuart - August, 2017
'As good as ever. Lovely, spacious room. Smiling faces throughout. Splendid breakfasts and scrumptious dinners.. Difficult to imagine being as comfortable away from home. ' - Peter Govier - May, 2017
'A wonderful clifftop location overlooking the sea. The gardens are lush and beautifully tended. It offers a sense of timeless isolation and peace with warm and friendly hospitality, good food and a very interesting wine list. It is in many ways a time warp, and that is what many of the guests clearly enjoy. A widely varied breakfast spread, delicious afternoon cream tea and excellent formal dinner are still the centrepieces of the day, and the Nare does all of them very well. The kitchen staff willingly vary dishes to suit customer needs and tastes. In the bedroom, it was good to have excellent reading lights. ' - Matthew Caminer - June, 2016
'Expensive but good value. Ethos a little old-fashioned: men are encouraged to wear a jacket and tie at dinner unless you are eating in the bistro. In other respects - comfort, food, service - it is well nigh perfect. The warm outdoor pool is superb. ' - David Lodge - October, 2015
