My stay at The Daylesford was lovely. The rooms were spotless and nice and warm, with a very pleasant view over the cricket pitch. The walk to town/harbour was enjoyable through Torre Abbey, although a bit longer than expected. The service was attentive and informative, and we even received a complimentary pot of tea and filtered coffee with delicious home made lemon drizzle cake. The location was very close to the town centre, just a few minutes walk away, making it convenient to explore the area. The dining experience was amazing, offering a variety of options from full English to healthy alternatives. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with great service and cozy rooms.
