Cary Arms

I was lucky enough to win a competition to stay in one of the Cary Arms Beach Huts and I can honestly say it was one of the best places I have ever stayed. The Beach Huts are pure luxury! We were greeted with complimentary Sloe Gin, Bottle of Wine in the Fridge and various snacks, which was just wonderful. Even sticks of rock on our pillow! Our little Dachshund even had her own bed, bowl and dog treats to welcome her. The views are just incredible. We felt like we were abroad. The view out of the port hole in the bedroom is just spectacular and it is so nice to wake up to! And at night you can see the the twinkling lights from the village across the water. The staff were absolutely lovely and nothing was too much trouble. Our dinner was absolute delicious. I had mouthwatering scallops, beef fillet cooked to perfection and a scrumptious white chocolate cheesecake. We had a delicious cooked breakfast the next morning on the private residents' terrace and were given a complimentary glass of Prosecco - another lovely extra touch that just makes you feel so special! Even on checking out we were given a little gift bag with bottles of water and dog treats. I cannot recommend the beach huts enough. My only fault...that we had to leave! We will definitely be back. Thank you to everyone at the Cary Arms for having us. It truly was one of the best places I have ever stayed. Our little Dachshund Dusty loved it too! Who needs to holiday abroad when you can stay in pure luxury on the South West Coast!

The Cary Arms is a great hotel and restaurant. We stayed in Beach Suite 8, which has a terrace right on the bay with fully opening three panel glass doors from both the reception (living room) and bedroom. The suites are brand new as of 2016 and are finished to a high standard reminiscent of New England beach chic style. The hotel is extremely dog friendly, allowing dogs in the restaurant, and offering dog meals from the kitchen. They also have hamper service for breakfast, delivering a lovely breakfast to enjoy on your private terrace at 8:30 for ultimate luxury. Also, the restaurant has a somewhat secret vegetarian menu - above and beyond what's listed in the full menu. Be sure to ask to see it, as there are some good choices even if you're not strictly veg.

Love The Cary Arms. Food is great, staff v friendly and location is amazing. I'm not a fish eater and although there is much fish on the menu (as one would expect from a restaurant 15 feet from the sea) there is also a great selection of meat dishes, sourced from local suppliers. Accommodation is also available and strongly recommended so one can forget the car, have a few drinks and unwind with great food and a stunning view out to sea. I can't recommend this place strongly enough.
