Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room was cute and had everything we needed. Our room had two windows looking out to a car park so not much to see there. Comfy bed and nice linen, loved the aesop soaps! It's in a great spot and the restaurant was great. Breakfast comes free with your stay but it was a little average we had the bacon and egg brioche roll which was a bit dry. We also had the crumpets which were a little under done but the jam and cream it came with were amazing. We were the only ones there for breakfast and one of the staff members was vacuuming arround the space - not a great mood/vibe setter haha! Overall a nice space but not sure we would stay again. Definitely would come back to the restaurant though!

The Oyster Inn is a lovely boutique place to stay, the room was very tidy, with excellent amenities and snacks. The Oyster Restaurant right next door is possibly the best on the island and is absolutely worth a try. The breakfast menu was very generous and delicious with a nice view over the harbour.
