The Cricket Inn

The Cricket Inn sits right on the beach at Beesands, named guest rooms upstairs including one called Trueman, a nod to the pub's cricketing name and the sport it was built to celebrate.

Rooms with bay windows

Rooms are dressed variously in navy and sage green, several with a cushioned window seat set into the bay window, a bed runner in beige finishing more than one room and a doorway leading through to an adjoining room in another. Small touches carry through the rooms too, a rope-framed mirror reflecting the striped bed linen in one, a coffee machine set on a tray beside the window seat in the next.

Ensuite bathrooms throughout

Each room has its own ensuite, a glass walk-in shower and heated towel rail fitted in a tiled corner, the fittings kept simple and modern rather than in keeping with the pub's older character on the ground floor below.

A beachfront setting at Beesands

The inn sits right on the beachfront at Beesands, an outdoor dining area making the most of the setting, themed dinner nights adding to the calendar through the year for guests wanting an evening out without leaving the village behind them.
