We stayed in room 10, one of the 2 cheapest rooms in the place and although it had no view to speak of, the room itself was excellent. We were escorted to our room by a very colourful charcter who's name I didn't get but he was most helpful. As we had no intention of sitting around in our room... more

We stayed in St Edmunds House and had the chance to eat fantastic food in the Seafood Restaurant, my husband had the tasting menu and thought he had died and gone to heaven - it was by far the best seafood we have ever tasted. Unfortunately the breakfast was only so-so. We also tried the Rick Stein cafe and Bistro,... more

My husband and I visited the Seafood Restaurant whilst on holiday, with our (smaller than average) 3 year old son. My first impression was that the Maitre d' did not believe that our son was son 3 as she snidely whispered to the receptionist (3 is the minimum age for the restaurant).

Stayed at Rick Stein's Bryn Cottage which was just beautiful.. had thought when we booked it was a bit pricey but when... more

Looking for a special meal, or a short break for my 50th Birthday, we decided to try both at once, and as we both enjoy seafood,'Rick Stein's' seemed a good choice. We didn't think to check Trip Advisor before we booked, but when we checked it out we had serious doubts, but any worries were unfounded, especially concerning 'cold and... more

Have just returned from a 2 night special deal (Sunday and Monday night bed breakfast and evening meal) and have to say that it was excellent. We stayed at the Seafood Restaurant and had the St Breoc Room which was very nice with a view across the Estuary. We ate in the Bistro and the main Restaurant and had an... more

We have just returned from a 2 day stay at the Seafood Restaurant and to be honest we could not fault it. I had some reservations after having read some of the reviews but I need not have worried - it was superb. We had room 2 which was lovely. Simply decorated, with a great view over the harbour, huge... more
