Lovely hotel exterior and downstairs. Our room was very small and overlooked a roof which was a disappointment.
The staff were all lovely and the food was excellent. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Travelled with a child and we both greatly enjoyed our stay. Made to feel very welcome and found our room comfortable and clean. Netflix was a bonus for the 9 year old!
We dined in the restaurant and both loved the food, finding it good quality and delicious. Kids menu had enough choice. We will be returning for another visit, as it is a beautiful drive up the coast and lovely to stay in an older property which has character.

Lovely friendly welcome. Plenty car parking space. Room was lovely, clean and toiletries in the bathroom.
Food was a set menu for dinner starting at 2 courses. I would have preferred a choice of one course as I arrived late. Breakfast was plentiful. I had eggs marine which was delicious. Definitely a great stay

We really liked the interiors of this hotel: all the public areas and bedrooms are beautifully decorated. Dining room was excellent and breakfast really good as well. We like the view from the hotel over the harbour and the town.
