    Very good sized high quality rooms overlooking Holes Bay and the RNLI training berths. I liked the food, well presented and very good value. The Sunday carvery was exceptional value. Secure parking, and the receptionists were very helpful. I would be happy to visit again.

    A la carte menu on Saturday. Chose the Meat pie. A bit disappointed that it was served with a few carrots, not cleaned/ peeled, and lots of potatoes. Too much carbohydrate, needed more veg. Not potatoes with a large pastry pie! The lifeboat crews may need the big pie but not visitors. Don't encourage obesity. Hope to go round the centre next time. Shut in winter.
