We really enjoyed our stay and would love to go back some time. The views were beautiful and it’s a tranquil setting. The food was good, the hotel team were excellent and it’s conveniently located close to the harbour (although note, if you have mobility issues, there are steps). Pets are £10/ night extra which is fairly typical. The only thing that could be improved were very cheap somewhat flimsy plastic toilet seats, which felt a bit like unnecessary cost-cutting.
