無花果樹尚克林飯店

We booked the Fig Tree for a small family reunion. On arrival we were told there was a private function and we we would be unable to use the bar and lounge. Had we been notified of this on booking we would have chosen somewhere else. Having to go to our rooms before heading out for dinner that evening, we found the tv was not working. It was however replaced quickly. The fan and light in the shower room did not turn off after leaving the bathroom. Having a shower in the ‘wet room’ bathroom, the floor tiles did not slope towards the drain, making the bathroom quite slippery and the whole floor covered with water. The guest toilet downstairs had a waste basket overflowing with paper towels after the party the night before. Our breakfast was nice. The staff were friendly and pleasant. The hotel is nicely decorated. In my view, I thought £180 for 1 night in November was overpriced, especially as we did not have access to the bar and lounge. Would not return.

1 night in executive room on first floor. Side view of next doors pool (rm 7). Good size room, comfortable bed, good bathroom (wet room; not a fan but very accessible, well-appointed and very clean). Lift available usually if can’t manage stairs, but flight wasn’t steep. Lovely ground floor facilities of restaurant and separate bar/seating area. View of the old church towards the cliff top but sea not visible from ground floor. Attentive staff. Had dinner; small menu but excellent presentation, flavour & size. Breakfast equally delicious. Serve yourself drinks, toast, fruit & yoghurt. (Nespresso coffee, Dorset tea). Table served full English. Parking on road at front; up to front door reception (steps or slope) and patio area or in car park at rear. (down steps). Short walk to cliff path, lift and steps. All very clean. Evidently getting their act together after their first season. Will do well, we’re sure.
