Spoilt Rotten.
We absolutely love the Elmer. We have stayed before and as previously, we were treated wonderfully by everyone. It’s a dog friendly pub & all the team spoilt out dog rotten, and he enjoyed the stay more than us. The room is clean and functional but the food & especially the breakfast nothing short of magnificent. Fresh and local produce making for a delicious meal. Elmer is a beautiful village and the pub is at the heart of the village. The Elmer is a credit to the village. We will certainly be back.

Pleasant seaside getaway
Unpretentious but very friendly and pleasant stay and hearty breakfast. Nothing too fancy, but would visit again.

A pub in a tiny seaside village. Not a 'destination'. It was fine for me because I just needed to break a journey.
The pebble beach is about a five min walk from the hotel. You have to walk down a path between the houses. Beach is really beautiful once you find it.
Hotel itself overlooks houses and a car park
The room was very clean. Unfortunately the curtains were missing from the front window. There was a big hole where the rail had clearly fallen out the wall. There were blinds but they didn't keep the light out.
The double bed was tiny and the single was rock hard. My daughter didn't sleep very well.
Best thing was the staff and the breakfast. Breakfast was good quality ingredients and cooked very nicely.
Unfortunately I wouldn't go back unless they replaced the old uncomfortable beds and fixed the curtain rails
Its a shame because it would take so very little for this to be a really lovely hotel

I'm looking to relocate to the area so a few days at the Elmer was perfect for me to get a feel for the place. I stayed in the twin room which was a good size with storage and a lovely shower room. Plenty of safe car parking available at the back. The Elmer was clean and fresh, with tea/ coffee making facilities and TV in my room. Comfortable and quiet. Great value for money, lovely friendly staff, and a 5 minute walk to the beach. There's a convenience store right next door, which was handy for bits and pieces. I'll definitely be coming back and staying here. Special thanks to Wayne, Rachel and Angela who made me feel really welcome.

OK for one night
Ok for a night. Not much in the immediate area. Had short walk via houses to look at beach but nothing there.
Room ok but a bit noisy as over the pub. Be careful exiting upstairs door as step a bit dangerous

I defy anyone to find friendlier staff than those at The Elmer - nothing is too much trouble and you are made to feel welcome from the minute you step through the door.
The food in the restaurant is really good - particularly useful to know as there's nowhere else nearby to eat!
We had a wonderful walk along the beach before dinner.
Our only 'gripe' is that the towels in the bathroom are very small - and this is a very minor moan.
Highly recommend The Elmer - this is a return visit for us and, hopefully, not the last one either!
