Literally right on a noisy crowded boardwalk. When the tide comes in there is some water to look at. The rest of the time there are some small boats sitting there. Room was missing a phone and other basic amenities. It was not a pleasant experience and I left a day early, losing the money I had spent rather than staying.

Lovely stay in quirky old building, steep steps up to room which were tricky with a suitcase, but amazing location.

On the waterfront is this amazing property. The rooms are pleasant, the place is full of history. Parking is a little difficult and the streets very narrow but it is an ancient town

Nice reasonably priced apartment with some awful stairs. May have thought twice about booking if I'd known about them. Not ideal if you have mobility issues. 2 night stay so minimal contact with staff but was always courteous with a smile. The skylights were covered in cobwebs & could do with a dusting. I think some had been there as long as the building ;)

Great location, lovely views.
Perfect location, with awesome harbour views from the lounge area. Clean, & well-maintained. We were missing a towel, hairdryer & the remote for our bedroom TV. Towel & hairdryer were requested a few times, but never materialised. No chopping board or bread knife, so if you're planning a long stay, & enjoy a freshly baked loaf like we do, make sure you pack one. Master bed is not the most comfortable, fine for a few nights - not sure we'd have coped a full week, mattress needs replacing. That said, the location is perfect - there are steep stairs to contend with, so not suitable for those who struggle to walk or have a buggy. Perfect for us with our 3-year-old & 11-year-old. Tea, coffee & sugar included, which is a nice touch for self-catering. We would stay again.

Almost perfect!!!
Excellent location, lovely room and nearly all the staff were friendly and helpful. Food is also very good. One down side was there was no mini fridge as stated. I even rang as we stopped at the shop 5 minutes away to double check before buying fridge stuff for sandwiches for the forthcoming days. Told all rooms have them. Spent over £50 on food to turn up and be told our room is the only one without a fridge as it was broken! Wasn’t the best start! If it weren’t for this it would have been brilliant instead of good.
