We didnt stay in Watersmeet Hotel. We had a fabulous birthday Sunday lunch there. Food and service were 5 star. Location is also breathtaking.

Didn't stay at the hotel but visited Combesgate beach beneath it, which, as you can see, is a rocky type beach with plenty of nooks and crannies to explore. The walk down to the beach is via a steep set of stairs but its not particularly high/long (a 4 year old was able to do it without complaint )

Well this is a lovely hotel set in a fabulous place, don't expect speedy service or maybe what you actually ordered. A steak but no steak knife or a breakfast ordered by someone else. But the location and rooms are excellent

For a fine dining experience it wasn’t quite what I expected. The view was spectacular, the food great and the service was punctual. They limit the number of covers so that all tables have a direct sea view, and there are three menus that rotate. Some of the menu options are a little bizarre but everything we had was nicely cooked.

We stayed at this hotel just over a month ago. It was the second occasion…we had a lovely time last November so booked again on checking out. What a disappointment…the views are stunning and the room was lovely. We had three nights there, and rather beautiful weather. On one of the days I asked for an iced latte at the bar, (I was served by the Operations Manager) he had no idea what one was. I tried to explain by pointing to the coffee machine and stating that he had a machine therefore it shouldn’t be a problem. His words were “are you trying to be funny” I told him I absolutely wasn’t…he didn’t know what an aerocino machine was either. However he made me an iced coffee not a latte. I sat outside with my husband, and as he walked past he informed us that he had just ordered one. Breakfast on the second day was dreadful, I had scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. The egg still had large pieces in it and the salmon was mainly brown. On checking out the next day we bumped into him, and he said that they had staffing problems and he was a new chef. The original chef walked out taking the Sous Chef with him. He also said his 13 year old daughter was helping out a couple of hours a day. The manager (his wife) knew the scenarios that had occurred but offered no reduction at all. Considering it is an expensive hotel we were both surprised and disappointed. However, Chris, the restaurant manager is both courteous and hard working. They need to look after him.

It's all about the fabulous views, but everything else is great too.Apart from the sandwiches at lunchtime - sliced supermarket bread and £10 each. But plenty of other tasty options for lunch.

We asked if we could have cream teas as non-residents.Yes was the answer . So after time spent on the nearby beach we were welcomed in and say on the lower terrace under a huge umbrella .The scones were warm and absolutely delicious. So much clotted cream and superb strawberry jam made it a very tasty treatWe paid £15 each and realised later we could have shared one cream tea between two .We enjoyed our pots of tea: breakfast and lemon and ginger .We weren't hurried away so we sat chatting enjoying the spectacular views for a while.It was a highlight of our stay.

A wonderful place to stay: plenty of parking and a warm welcome at Reception. Our room was well-appointed and spacious, with a great view over Combsgate Beach and the lovely sound of the waves. There's an easy path down from outside the hotel to the sandy and rocky beach.Breakfast is taken in the sun lounge, with amazing views over the sea. The buffet and served hot options are both excellent and we left feeling full.We would definitely recommend it and hope to return one day.
