ザ ドルイドストーン ホテル

First discovered this magical place in 1983 when my daughter was 3 months old. Have stayed in the hotel and most of the cottages over the years - as has my now grown up daughter with her own children. This month we met up there with my son his wife and their 8 month old. Jane and Rod would be so proud of how Angus and Beth have taken this challenging place on. Its a huge building to maintain, let alone the several cottages , but they are plugging away at it and it's more homely than it ever was. The food was outstanding, we were spoilt for choice with such an imaginative menu and everything was cooked to perfection. Though we booked the restaurant each night we also ate in the bar at lunchtime and even found we were able to have a cream tea on spec with the most delicious fresh scones. My son stayed in the Roundhouse , which we too have stayed in , and it really is a lovely experience. All the other cottages offer all sorts of options for accomodating couples, families or groups. Don't expect luxury, they are homely and perfect for sandy beaches, dogs, children and the odd rainy day! On the way we stayed at an Air bnb which was like living in an Insatgram picture - never again! I could go on forever about this place, I can't imagine why anyone would not give this 5 stars. As someone else has said here - perhaps they're just not Druidstone people......

I had been walking various parts of the coastal path, and called by to ask if they would do a cream tea. That was fine, so I returned with my wife, spent in excess of £22 at reception, and waited in a largely empty dining area for 15 minutes before receiving anything. My coffee came another 5 minutes later...Still no knifes or spoon which we asked for. Half an hour later, we were asked if were staying there, and politely asked to leave by a rather embarrassed member of their staff, saying that they needed the space... Albeit still largely empty. Probably a charming if unconventional place, but don't waste calling in there and expect to be welcomed.

Very very strange. A bit of a dump but very expensive. Great for a bohemian experience but best seen as a novelty. The bar is apparently members only but we were served on tla sunny day. Nice people but I wouldn't choose to eat or stay here. See it once.

This place is a gem! Amazing home cooked food. A refreshing change from all the generic pub menus these days. Enjoyed a lovely evening with my friends. Hotel is quirky with a relaxed atmosphere and beautiful sea views from the dining room.Staff were welcoming and friendly.

The most amazing place I’ve ever been I love it so much! Food is always a 10/10 and rooms are cleaned perfectly 100% recommend!it’s also got great access to walkers because it’s right on the coast path. And the staff are always lovely and welcoming!

Magical place, stunning location, warm and welcoming staff. Spent a couple of nights, out of season for a family funeral. Gus and Ruth were so supportive and welcoming. Stayed in one of the cosy, quirky cottages, up high on the cliff, with a glorious bed, snuggled with the wind howling around. I felt like Heidi! Thanks so much guys. What an amazing place. Will be back with the family
