Great location, great food at a very good price for such a spectacular location. The staff are really accommodating and friendly. A last minute birthday booking, found us with the best reserved table in the house with two Champagne flutes. What a wonderful welcome! Returning in July for the sea food platter! ;)

We had a superb lunch today. Delicious food in a wonderful setting but what really made the difference were the outstanding team of staff. We had a slight hiccup with one of the dishes and they could not have dealt with it better. A particular shout out to our superb waiter Harry.

I recently had the pleasure of attending the Catch & Cook event as part of the Seafood Feast, and I must say it was an experience to remember. The stunning setting added an extra touch of magic to the entire evening. Upon arrival, we were provided with rods and gear, ready to embark on our fishing adventure. My daughter was particularly thrilled to see the seals playing in the sea and swimming in the crystal clear water. It truly added a sense of wonder and excitement to the atmosphere. Although we didn't have much luck with our fishing due to the tide being out, we still had a fantastic time and managed to work up quite the appetite. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the mackerel prepared by the talented chef. The fish was incredibly fresh and expertly cooked, leaving us craving for more. The ambiance of the event was further enhanced by the presence of a pianist, who created a delightful musical backdrop. The candlelight, crisp linen, and attentive service added a touch of elegance to the entire experience. We were greeted with a freshly baked roll and salted butter, which was a lovely and delicious touch. The tasty warm appetizer only further heightened our anticipation for the main course. Overall, the Catch & Cook event was a delightful evening filled with beautiful surroundings, delicious seafood, and impeccable service. Despite not having the greatest luck with fishing, we still thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique and memorable dining experience by the sea.

As locals we visited the spa and restaurant. This is our 2nd time doing the spa and dine package and both times we have been blown away by the experience. Special mention to Olivia and Leah who welcomed us and served us in the restaurant. They go above and beyond to make you feel special. Both times we've felt like royalty! It's the perfect mix of comfort and indulgence. Highly recommend. We will be back. The views are amazing, food is delicious and spa area is clean but the service and ambience really makes it.

Great dog friendly accommodation near to beach and coastal walks Lovely small hotel right on the water’s edge in a sheltered bay and close to coastal path. We stayed in the two bedroom Pebble suite with our teenage son and our dog. The entire site is well set-up for dogs, they are welcome in most areas of the hotel and the beach next door. Our dog was given a welcome pack on arrival with a couple of chews and a tennis ball. Our suite was a good size, with a spacious lounge with log burner, large master bedroom with comfortable bed, and bathroom with a shower and bath that overlooked the sea. The second bedroom was smaller, but a good size for children. There was even a small kitchen. We also had a small private garden overlooking the bay. The rooms were well fitted, clean and comfortable. There was a good selection of beers and wines to enjoy whilst sitting on the sunny terrace and the food was excellent both at breakfast and dinner. The staff are friendly and helpful; although sometimes a bit stretched at busy mealtimes, they did a great job of looking after us during our stay. Mobile phone signals are a bit weak that far down the cliff, but there is a basic wifi covering most of the hotel, although be aware it’s completely open, so you may want to add your own VPN to protect your privacy. Overall we had a great short break in the Cary Arms. It’s not cheap, but it is good value for money.
