Clean room and lovely bay view

The room overlooked the bay as described when booking room. The room was clean, but bed was a bit hard and uncomfortable for me. There was a TV but there was no signal to receive any channels.

Quirky.

Such a friendly staff. Small white room but we expected that, comfy bed, broken chair. View over sea fab, but windows suffer condensation and only one opened, so very hot. Key to door jammed locking us in but staff so helpful . Needs a new lock. Would we stay there again? yes we would, outdoor bar, coffee and cake excellent and happy hour. A quirky place with a small quirky cafe attached. We had a lovely time.
