The Pines Hotel boasts fantastic beach access with stairs leading directly down to the gorgeous sandy beach. Guests can enjoy lovely views over the beach and sea from the restaurant and lounge, as well as from their spacious and beautifully decorated rooms. The access to a lovely beach is perfect for accessing the South West Coastal path and taking morning sunrise walks from the hotel to the beach. Although there are a bit of a climb and 147 steps down to the beach, the location on the coast is great for walks and easy access to the town. Beware of the climb back up to the hotel from the beach if you are unfit, but overall, the beach access is a bonus and a great place to spend your vacation.
