Great location a few steps away from the beach. Bus stop into town just around the corner. Close to several places to eat and drink. Lovely clean room - spotless - and tea coffee and milk left in the room too along with the necessary bathroom bits. The host Zara was very helpful and had left nothing to chance. Would happily stay here again - recommended.

    The house was very nice and just walking distance from car park as well as Sea Side. The host was very helpful and quick to respond to our queries. Our kids really enjoy the stay.we will definitely recommend the place for a family with young kids. Special kudos to host for taking care of small things like toys for kids and keeping books for reading really makes us feel like at home.

    Great location as everything we needed was within walking distance or about a 5 minutes' drive away. There is also a convenience store just footsteps away. The place was big enough to accommodate my family of 6. It was clean, warm and inviting. Like a home away from home. Also, very friendly neighborhood. Mr. Ebi is a wonderful host. He gave us ideas and directions for places we can take the children and recommendations on food places. We had a truly enjoyable vacation.

    Fantastic and serene stay with a gorgeous view overlooking the sea. The children really enjoyed themselves and the restaurant was also impeccable. As a vegan family, we felt fully catered for in every area, so thank you Roslin Hotel for leading the way for inclusivity and for your incredibly thoughtful hotel.

    Room as described and booked - family room with sea view; the room itself was spacious and the view from the 3rd floor stunning. There was plenty of space for the cot for our little one and for us to spend time in the room when the baby was asleep. Staff at reception and breakfast were very helpful, friendly and helped me arrange for cake and balloons on my wife's birthday - truly excellent.

    Shirley and the gentle on her shift were very nice, considerate and accommodating. They did their very level best to have us settled and comfortable, considering the fact that booking.com let us down. Booking.com allowed us to book room that wasn’t available plus made mistake in our booking. We booked for two night but only got one and booking.com left us to sort ourselves out. I’m still waiting to have my refund from booking.com for the family room that wasn’t available. The breakfast was splendid even my grandchildren loved it.

    The reviews are high, and with very good reason. Fantastic location, the owner has stocked up with more than the basics so we were really able to be comfortable without having to make much effort. He’d even thought of small children, with plastic plates and crockery for them to use. They’ve not cut corners either on utensils, appliances and soft furnishings, so can’t speak highly enough of this property and the effort made to make me and my family feel welcome and comfortable.
