The Rooms
There are 37 rooms with 5 hotel room categories - each room is slightly different. All feature stunning sea views and individual contemporary design with their own outdoor space in the form of a terrace or walled garden.
Tiny rainbow tiles made the oval bath and rain shower shimmer like water - both stand open in the room and there is no curtain to draw for your modesty.
You can, however, always ask your partner to retreat to what was surely is our favourite feature - a secret room at the top of a spiral staircase. Just an enormous beanbag and a big window looking out to the sea.
Another cool room can be found down in the basement...
Other luxurious rooms including the stunning hotel bar
The menu has been created by Michelin star-winning local Ben Tunnicliffe and, unlike many hotel dining experiences, the evening meal feels like a real night out. Ceviche of wild halibut and line-caught sea bass with guacamole and red onion was followed by roast monkfish tail and lobster risotto.
The Spa
The star spa feature has to be the two log-fired seaweed baths/hot tubs perched outside on the edge of the cliff, for total immerse-yourself-in-the-scenery serenity. Then there's the natural reed-filtered pool, for a one-off wild swimming experience.
Inside, Ayurvedic treatments are based on a consultation to determine your dosha or body type. Interestingly there's no spa pool, as it was deemed too energy-hungry.
