The Wilcove Inn is often praised for its beautiful location with views across the water to Plymouth and its spacious, comfortable rooms that offer amenities like coffee-making facilities. Many guests have enjoyed the large bathrooms with deep baths, perfect for a relaxing bubble bath. The pub downstairs is a highlight, offering great food like Sunday roast and burgers, with some guests mentioning the kitchen remains open later than average; live music can also be enjoyed outdoors on weekends, though a few guests have noted that road access to some rooms can be steep.
