    On the top floor so quite a climb to get there. No lift. Breakfast is a plentiful varied continental. No cooked breakfast.

    The view over the harbour was lovely both from our room and restaurant. Nice restaurant. Dinner lovely. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Room comfortable and nice decor.

    There’s no lift (it’s an old building so not really appropriate) but we were at the top of the building and it was quite a hike. The continental breakfast was very basic and limited. There needs to be toast or a bread roll.

    On the harbour - fabulous views. The location is second to none and the food in the restaurant was delicious

    Hair dryer didn’t work well, checkin wasn’t marked, so a little lost checking in and assistance with bags up the stairs could have been a bit better

    Restaurant and staff were fabulous … would loved to have tried the pub food too, but, happy hour in the pub was great fun

    Happy with continental breakfast but offering varied and croissants could have been fresher. No toast or yogurt one day, no cheese the next. Trivial really, everything else great

    Gorgeous views from top floor room. Very comfortablel and well appointed. Great choice of beers and lovely restaurant. Free car park and lovely seaside walks. Tidy beach for swimming.

    We had to remind them twice that we already payed. We were promised a two-seater in both rooms but there was only a chair. The shower screen didn't help to keep the bathroom floor dry. The floor of the room was not level. The beds were very small. The breakfast was not vegan friendly. There was no butter on the first day and no toast on the second day.

    Excellent location. Great views from the window. Clean rooms.

    Views from the room were spectacular. The bar was great, really nice setting and the selection of drinks was great. Could do with a few more flavoured gins (but that's just personal preference). Staff were super friendly and great to chat to. Food was also really good. Didn't realise breakfast was included which was a bonus. Simple breakfast (Cereals, pastries and cold cut meats and cheeses) but still good 😊

    Unfortunately, the bathtub was dirty and there were still socks in the room from the guests before.

    Very cozy hotel with a beautiful view of the harbor. Breakfast was included even though it said it's not included. Very tasty food in the restaurant and a huge selection of whiskey in the in-house pub.

    Poor Internet in the room. In the Judas room the shower wasn't perfect.

    Perfect location, wonderful sea view, superb breakfast, mega friendly personnel. The guys helped us with the desserts for the hungry kids when the kitchen was already closed. Very comfortable beds.
