Fantastic view, lovely food

We were able to check in early which was a nice touch, as were the complementary drinks and snacks. We ate outside in the afternoon and the burger was delicious. The bed was a bit on the soft side for my liking but I had a wonderful night’s sleep. Breakfast was lovely, but it is cooked to order so factor that into your timing. All in all a wonderful stay, will definitely be back

Love this Inn - charming & luxurious but unfortunately has some downsides which they probably can’t fix due to the age of the building & regulations. Absolutely stunning room, the best bed I’ve ever slept in was simply amazing! Water pressure in the shower along with lack of hot water was disappointing to say the least even when used at random times. Windows are only able to open 3” which is probably some random health & safety law but again disappointing to have an amazing view spoiled. Staff are exceptional and will go out of their way to help with any queries.

Pleasant surprise

One night stay, late arrival early checkout. Great place, nice cozy pub downstairs - had tagliatelle which was good. Room comfy, warm, great, lovely bed. Nice toiletries, amenities. Left too early for breakfast but knew it would've been good just from the feel of the place. Decided to check out early doors, visit some places for work then come back at 9am for the breakfast (included). Correct decision, it was amazing. Nothing against the normal run of the mill chain pubs I tend to stay in when on the road so much, but this was refreshing and welcome change. Just a shame I my stay was so short...

Access to some rooms can be challenging!

Room access was very difficult for my husband who has mobility issues. Next to time I will ask for a room with easier access. However, the view from our room was fabulous so access difficulties accepted. Staff tried to resolve this and were very helpful and supportive.

Couples night away.

Very clean and a really lovely room, luxurious with bathrobes. The fridge with drinks and snacks to buy was a nice touch, as were the two complimentary cans of Korev. Great shower room. Fantastic view. Couldnt ask for more. The staff are very welcoming, attentive and helpful. We enjoyed our evening meal and breakfast which has a great choice.

The Old Success Inn is in the most stunning location and the staff all tried hard to please . However, we thought the bedroom we booked was a deluxe room , which although looked great on first impressions, it had a few issues. Unfortunately, the bath tap dripped all day and night and you couldn’t fill the bath as there wasn’t enough water pressure. The shower wasn’t much better, especially if you have to wash your hair , it took ages to rinse. We live by the sea so are used to windows banging and dealing with that when it’s windy but the bathroom issues need to be sorted. The breakfast and evening meals were good, quite basic but cooked well. I would also suggest that if you are staying , remember to flip over your sign on the door if you need your room cleaning or fresh towels. We didn’t see it and came back to our towels still wet and piled up in the bath where we had left them at the end of the day. This was rectified quickly once we realised but just a note to self to check if you need room doing , flip your sign over hanging on the outside door. Other than that, we had a great stay and will definitely return next year but maybe stay in a different room … unless they get the tap and pressure sorted . A beautiful location and full of character.
