Lovely rooms, very well-appointed, and the staff were friendly. The food was very good (shakshuka for breakfast was a highlight - as was the fact it was free for guests!), and they really helped out when I discovered I'd forgotten the dog's kibble... A very pleasant and friendly stay with a good location to watch the ferries.

Lovely little place with nice ambience in a nice location. The breakfast and choices included in the price was great. My only one suggestion is re the sofa bed - matress is really not comfortable and too thin. Maybe at the very least a mattress topper could be used if the whole mattress cant be changed.
