I enjoyed my stay at Lorna Doone. The food and Drink is AMAZING! My real poultry pie was out of this world and the breakfast was to die for! The owners were every nice in providing me with an adapter, which i think i lost :( My room was clean and comfortable, EXCEPT i couldn't get the heat to work. So I had a cold night :( Hence the 4 stars. I highly recommend this place.

Traditional Hotel Given Modern Makeover
The bar, restaurant and breakfast room were very tastefully decorated and furnished. Breakfast was very nice. Our room was cosy and had a sea view. Owners were friendly and helpful. All in all very good value for money.
