The Hotel has a beautiful setting, a lovely atmosphere and is a wonderful building. The breakfast was amazing, the staff friendly and efficient for the breakfast and the setting gorgeous. It could so easily be amazing overall but on the downside, the building itself and interior is in need of a good amount of TLC and the customer service in areas other than breakfast, is a bit lacking, maybe due to being short-staffed. I will definitely return, but would love to see it returned to its former glory.

Lovely cosy room overlooking the bay. Very comfortable bed. Clean bathroom. We did not have breakfast as only normally have toast and it’s a lot to pay for just toast. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Convenient for the town.
