A lovely place to stay in Linton. The staff are fantastic and very helpful and our turret room was amazing with views over the village and the sea. A short walk from all shops, pubs and cafes and the coastal path. Spotlessly clean and very cosy. A very good price, especially for this area.

We loved it here, just what we wanted. Brilliant location. Very friendly staff. Clean and comfortable. Exactly how it was described. Paid a small extra cost for a parking space right behind the hotel, well worth it. Easy to find places for breakfast, in easy walking distance. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Very good value for money.
