Lovely village location. Staff very friendly and the food in the restaurant was excellent Our room in the eves was cosy, they have definitely made the most of the available space The shuttle service to the open air theatre was also a really good idea

Our room was very warm but there was a fan so at least they did what they could to keep it cooler in this very warm weather

10.0

We Stayed at 22 Highstreet. The self catering beautiful house. The house is gorgeous with everything you would need. Great that it includes parking around the back too. Lovely little village. The Plough across the road were we ate a delicious meal. The staff were lovely not only in the pub but also the Yew Tree cafe were we had an equally delicious Breakfast. Which was located just a minute walk from where we stayed. We came for a concert at the Open air theatre. They made getting there so easy as the plough offers a shuttle service to the venue pick up and drop off. Which was a huge bonus. I would definetly choose here again. Had a great stay. Sorry to leave. The beds were super comfy too. Selection of pillows. The decor was equally great. Good quality beds and bedding. Tastefully decorated throughout.

Nothing.

There was tea and coffee facilities,good location to the beach.

Room was to small, although nice, was overpriced. would say it was overpriced. And the amount paid should have included breakfast.

Hotels of Earth · questions

Is The Plough Inn & Cottages really a five-star hotel?
Yes. Its own classification data carries five stars; that rating, not a style label, is what puts a property in this collection.

Good to know

All self catering properties are subject to a £100 security deposit pre-authorized on the date of arrival, this will then be released upon departure should there be no chargeable issues.

A deposit may be required at the property.
