Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and bright, with comfy beds and fluffy towels, although some areas needed better dusting. The service was exceptional, with a warm welcome and helpful staff. The location offered breathtaking views and easy access to beautiful walks. The dining experience was a mix of superb dishes and some areas needing improvement. Overall, a great value for a comfortable stay.
I just had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were cosy, very clean with a lovely view looking out to the harbour and the sea. The service felt like a comfortable relaxing home from home, and the staff were extremely friendly and polite. The location is fantastic, a few minutes walk from the harbour with plenty of parking opposite. The dining experience was great, with lots of choice and time taken on presentation of hot food. Overall, a fantastic find with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel offers modern, clean, and comfortable rooms with a lovely sea view. The staff are very helpful and dedicated to ensuring everyone has a good stay, making it the best option. However, the rooms are very narrow.
