Beautiful location, old fashioned and kooky b&b. Some things need updating e.g carpet in the bathroom and a damp smell. The included breakfast is described as ‘continental’ but consists of toast and cereal with a £10 cooked breakfast option. Hosts are very friendly and chatty and have great recommendations of activities and places to eat as well as offering a £5 per person cream tea. Overall enjoyed our stay and would come again maybe to a different room as we stayed in the accessible ground floor room.

Lovely aspect, spotless room, would have preferred en suite bathroom, even though private bathroom on same landing. I stayed at top of prooerty in single room, personally found stairs a bit of a trial . Very quiet, can't comment on food as room only. Nice to have tea making facilities in room. Bed comfortable and warm. Beautiful gardens outside, well appointed for stroll to beach and village.

Hotel very quirky and quaint. It was like Stepping back in time, intentionally that way. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly stay there again. Owner and his wife couldn't have been any nicer and always ready to help and very knowledgeable about the surrounding areas.

Step back in time

The B&B is very dated but our stay was pleasant and quiet. The room upstairs overlooking the river was a bonus. The toilet and shower room was adjacent to our room.

OK for a short stay

We stayed for 2 nights. The Captain's House was adequate for our needs. The owners were very pleasant and made us welcome. The breakfast included was cereal, yoghurt and toast - cooked breakfast was extra. Our room was small with a shower and toilet across the corridor shared with other guests if there are any, there was no one else on our floor. The room was quite small. I have slept in more comfortable beds; the pillows could do with being replaced. Parking limited.

Excellent position to explore Watersmeet and Valley of the Rocks. Incredibile and breathtaking views never seen in my life! The hotel has his peculiar Victorian style, which we absolutely loved! Super clean and tidy, everything in the hotel was looked after and very well maintained. Just perfect! I can't wait to come back here again

Breakfast was solid. My gripe is that I booked a room with a private bathroom, but when I was shown the room I was told that the shower and the toilet were on the other side of the landing. No private bathroom even though I’d paid for one.

Avoid. Found out, common knowledge in the town that 'he' has a terrible reputation; been up for sale for years-no wonder. Arrogant and insulting. Room full of faults.

Avoid this place.

On arrival STRAIGHT AWAY we were asked to PAY for hot breakfast for an additional £10pp, if we WANTED anything Hot - which we thought we already had in the B&B booking. HE SAID the continental was included! * His continental was "TOAST and cereal " thats it*! with a very very small orange juice and tea/coffee. This man lives in coocoo land! ( We were expecting crossiants/cheese ham pastries etc etc.. Not a chance.) He is very odd and very ecentric! The room we had was unfortunately an attic room ( we wearnt told this on booking and it wasnt mentioned or we wouldnt have booked it.). The room was tiny and the so called en-suite.. well... you can stand in it and your shoulders will touch each side of the walls and had to back into the toilet area as cant turn around. The Shower was very small and you couldnt stand in the bathroom to be able to dry yourself, litrally had to go into the bedroom via the very loud SQUEEKY DOOR to be able to do that. It Said toiletries included - NONE THERE AT ALL.( we always take our own anyway). There were NO Glasses to be able to have our own drink(s), had to ask following day. Reluctant to give them. The house and Room decor and the bedding is way out of date.. talking cream lamp shades with tassles on and old fashioned bedding and carpets and curtains. Said there was FREE Parking advertised on booking - NONE ! HAD TO PARK 600 Yrds away and Pay ! DONT STAY HERE ! ITS AWFUL. 22/08/2025- 25-3-2025. AND DONT HAVE A CREAM TEA! Small shop bought.
