Purdy Lodge

I can honestly say this is one of the best places I've ever stayed & this certainly wasn't what I anticipated when booking. Our party booked prior to bad weather hitting & meaning we had to cancel our plans for onward travel. We ended up altering our plans & stayed on at Purdy Lodge for a second night so as not to risk travelling in snow. We were blown away by how helpful, kind, respectful & accommodating the team here are / were. From the second we arrived to check in, to when we came to leave. The check in was friendly, efficient & informative. The room was well equipped, spacious and comfortable & it had a sea view! Over fields & all rooms have a countryside view, not that of the A1 out the front. Rooms are quiet through the night, although we did hear guests thunder past the room twice with no consideration for others, but this isn't any fault of the accommodation or staff. This is a very dog friendly and genuinely welcoming place & our time in the dining area was made very comfortable with us and other guests in mind. For this we were so grateful, thank you. Some inconsiderate owners hadn't picked up after their dogs outside, but this could be people stopping at the services, not staying at the lodge & everywhere else was spotless so again, not the accommodation at fault. The building was warm, well equipped, easy to access & felt comfortable and you could tell that staff care about their place of work. The BEST fish & chips ever are made here too lol!

Room was clean and comfortable. Good early start for breakfast on a Sunday. Staff pleasant and helpful.

What a bargain. Friendly efficient staff. Place is clean and well kept. It’s not a posh hotel but does what it does really well. On-site 24 hour cafe too for those arriving late. I’d definitely book again.
