Spring has arrived

Warm reception and kind attentive staff throughout our stay. Dinner and breakfast both high quality cooking. Room had considerate touches like a coffee pod machine and a nightlight in the en-suite so you didn’t have the fan turn on in the night if you spent a penny. Lovely view out over harbour to sea.

I was very pleased with the accommodation and politeness of staff. Had an issue with payment because the card I booked with was out of date, so manager had to contact Expedia to clear payment with the new replacement card. I was out of internet contact, so the mix-up was a bit daunting. Entirely my fault though, and staff were very kind.

Staff, bedroom and location spot on. Team were warm and welcoming and room and en-suite clean and spacious, we had a harbour view and was lovely to wake up and see the sea! The bar was great and full of locals and fab to have a live band too! The only negative for us was the dining area needed a refurb
