Warm Welcome & Helpful Staff
From the moment we arrived at Cedars Inn, we felt at home. The receptionist was extremely helpful and friendly, welcoming us with humor and a smile—a perfect start to our stay!
Comfortable & Clean Rooms
The rooms were a decent size, offering a clean and cozy environment. While the bed was a little soft for our liking, the bedding was fresh, and the pillows were of good standard, making for a comfortable night’s sleep.
Room Details
The room was spacious enough for a weekend stay, complete with a TV and tea/coffee facilities. However, the lighting was awful, making it near impossible to do makeup properly—ladies, consider bringing a ring light or preparing for a guessing game!
Bathroom: Clean but Lacking Essentials
Although the bathroom was small, it was clean and well-maintained, featuring a shower over the bath that was of good spec. However, to my partner’s absolute disgust, there was no toilet brush—cue the horrified expression 😬.
Dining Experience: A Lovely Conservatory Restaurant
Cedars Inn has a proper restaurant housed in a beautiful conservatory-style area with lovely garden views. The setting made for a relaxing dining experience, and all the staff were friendly and hardworking, ensuring guests had a great meal.
Convenient Parking & EV Chargers
One thing we appreciated was the free parking—a rarity these days! There are two parking areas:
- Left-hand side near the courtyard rooms
- Right-hand side with car chargers for electric vehicle users
A Perfect Venue for Events & Leisure
We visited Cedars Inn for a wedding reception, and it did not disappoint. The reception venue itself was a decent size and even had its own small bar—though it lacked high-end spirits such as Hendrick’s gin. Luckily, this was not a problem because a quick trip to the main bar sorted us out nicely!
Lovely Bar Atmosphere
Despite being busy, the bar was well-run, and there was never a long wait for drinks—something that’s always appreciated during a lively evening!
Noise Levels: Expect Some Pub Sounds
Given that the hotel is part of a pub, you can hear some noise in the evenings—but thankfully, it stopped by 11 PM, meaning a peaceful sleep was still possible. I assume this is mainly over the weekend and a weekday visit may be slightly different.
Final Thoughts
With its warm hospitality, convenient amenities, and relaxing atmosphere, Cedars Inn is a great choice for a short break or special occasion. It is in a great location with lovely beaches and countryside walks a short drive away. While the rooms could use better lighting and the bathroom lacked a toilet brush, the friendly service, great food, and well-managed bar make it worth the stay.
