A real Gem

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights and we have rarely enjoyed a place more. The staff were all lovely and there were lots of them, the bedroom beautifully decorated with a fabulous bathroom and a view of the harbour. We ate there one night both the dinner and the breakfasts had good local food, well cooked and great value for money. We will definitely be back, stunning place!
