Very nice breakfast
I've eaten in the evenings here before (which was lovely)but this time we did a late lunch and opted for a walk to the ship along the road for a quiet drink instead.
We had a fantastic time. Loved everything room spot on. Housekeeping great. Fabulous food breakfast first class. Staff were great so helpful. Definitely be back.
Lovely spacious rooms.
Loved the roll top bath in the room but the water wasn’t too hot.
We had been to a wedding so came home late to find the door to hotel locked & it took 5 phone calls to get entry.
This was our third visit and the Joiners Arms never fails to please in all areas of the business: Accommodation, cleanliness, restaurant, bar. Close proximity to the beach
Looking forward to our next visit!
Lovely stay. Room was beautiful, very spacious and we were able to check in earlier than planned which was a bonus as we were attending a wedding at Newton Hall and therefore were able to get ready in the room.
Fantastic stay. Everything was perfect from the friendly welcome, the beautiful room and delicious breakfast. We are already looking for an excuse to stay again. Highly recommend.

Bedrooms very nice,however TVs need updating.you cannot park your car at the joiners arms it is a 3-400 yard walk to a car park.we arrived at 10 past 2 to check in and blankly told check in is at 3pm,even without asking our name to check if room was available.when we did check in simply directed to our room and told key in the door,which it was not.
We had an evening meal in the bar area and it was simply that.nothing extraordinary,however must say the staff were excellent,very helpful,polite and hardworking but understaffed,they were ran off their feet.very well done to them.
We checked out a day early on a two night booking….

We stayed in tye tweed suite which has a hot tub in the back garden. The hot tub was not private and we had other parties looking out the window into our garden area. When we arrived at 4.45 we tried to book in for dinner and we told that we could have a table for dinner now, but apart from that they had nothing else for the evening. We had to book and drive 15 minutes to another restaurant.
On our way out at 6.30 we popped into the pub for a pop and there was lots of tables not being used. Don’t understand how they couldn’t accomadate us. Car park is not outside the property. You need to walk 5 mins up the street and park in a car park which in my eyes was not safe at all. When having to walk to our car to got for food the road to the car park was pitch black. Not one street light on. The property inside was lovely, and the breakfast was
Nice.
The 5 stars clearly awarded by themselves, gastro pub - I think not. Its just a pub with pub food and any pretence of class evaporates at breakfast time when families from the rest of the Newton Hall estate descend on the place to fill their lunch packs from the buffet counter...
Lots of friendly staff and nice touches here and there but none of it joins up to provide a great experience.

Basic room above a pub. Difficulty getting luggage up very narrow stairs and no parking in property made it a tad inconvenient for us older folks.
Really enjoyed our time here, the room was very nice and cosy, catering is really good with breakfast included and the staff are helpful.
In winter it may be difficult tomget around if you dont drive though as public transport is extremely limited and there isnt too much in the area.

Over priced
We were somewhat disappointed with our stay. For the price we found our accommodation very basic. Although quaint and quietly there was a lacking in the basics l would expect from a 5* hotel. There wasn’t a mini fridge or any wine glasses in our room.
We had a wonderful stay at the Joiners Arms, the staff were so accommodating and the whole place has a general feeling of warmth and cosiness. Our dog stayed as well and the additional welcome pack for the dog was a lovely touch, he devoured the camomile treats which was very much needed due to his excitement staying there. We will definitely be back. Thank you to all the staff.
Pub was great, food was excellent. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Our room, Senna Cove was very comfortable, shower fantastic and bed really comfy. The photo on the website is possibly a wee bit out of date. Pub really welcomes dogs, ours was very well catered for and loved his sausages for breakfast. Pub would benefit from having a bin for used poo bags. There are none around. Overall a great experience and we would definitely return
Perfect and well worth a visit. All staff are very helpful and will accommodate as much as possible. I would recommend this place to anyone. Perfect for us to relax in and she said YES.
