The staff were very friendly and made you feel welcome immediately. The entrance, dining room and bedroom with ensuite were very clean. You can have the rooms at your own preference for temperature with controls on the heated towel rail and radiator. Beds were amazingly comfortable. Beautiful location, positioned looking right over the harbour and great parking. Definitely would recommend and return.

Solo stay

Both Stephen’s dad & lad always look after every detail and always make you feel welcome. The hotel is perfectly situated and the sea view room that was upgraded to is fabulous. This was my second stay and highly recommend it.
