Me and my husband spent a night in this lovely hotel. Sea view from our room, rooms are clean, variety of tea and coffee selections in the room. Stuff is going the extra mile for their customers.Breakfast was delicious , hot food and continental breakfast paying attention for guests who has allergies. Variety of lacto free products. The hotel is probably dated from outside but inside it is lovely , clean and beautiful . We can’t wait to go back thank you 😊

The room was very spacious and clean. No fridge, fan or usb points. Lovely big balcony. Staff on reception desk were helpful. Drinks at the bar were expensive. Breakfast was ok, but the hot food was burnt and dried out by the time we got down there at 9.15 am, so we went down earlier the following day. A walk down the hill to restaurants, bars and the harbour.

We booked a room with a balcony with a view across the bay it was it was exactly what was described, but yet far better than our expectations. My husband has to use a crutch at the moment to get around ,from the time we parked the car there was a young man enthusiastically wanting to help him with luggage extremely polite, that continued during our stay, The staff at breakfast were equally considerate ensuring the our table was in a convenient spot, There was a wonderful section of fruits, pastries ,juices , cheese, ham the list is endless, the cooked breakfast had a equally good selection all cooked and presented to a great standard, (which can be challenged) We would have no hesitation on recommend the hotel it far exceeded our expectations. ( both my husband and l have both had excellent careers in the hospitality industry which the hotel was unaware of)
