I have stayed at the Woody Bay Hotel several times and it does not disappoint. The journey from London is long but as soon as tea is poured on the verandah and you take in the view and peace and quiet, you fall under the Woody Bay spell. The hotel is run by a very friendly couple Martin & Collette with breakfast and dinner being cooked to order, but always on time. The food is delicious, plentiful and locally sourced. The wine list has good choices at reasonable cost. There are lots of walks in the area plus the hidden gem of a beach waterfall nearby. Plenty to do just a short car journey away and all the views are spectacular. By the time you have a full day out and return for dinner and a good bottle of wine you are ready to float into bed to rise again the following morning. The hotel is very clean and comfortable and has been slowly undergoing refurbishment so the odd spot of shabbiness still visible but all part of the charm of this lovely Victorian building.
