“The Joiners Arms presents a genuinely inviting atmosphere, particularly evident in the pub's warm evening ambiance and the exceptionally friendly staff who manage to make even busy periods feel welcoming. Rooms, like the spacious Coquet or Tweed, often surprise with delightful additions such as freestanding baths and scenic views, complemented by excellent dining options and a convenient proximity to the coast, making it a place I'd readily revisit.”
