"Visited this hotel three different times now and three different owners, Everything was clean, staff amazing only let down from a visitors side is I would have liked to have booked the breakfast for myself and my family who I was in the village to visit but this is not allowed, which meant we all had to go elsewhere. But other than this I would definitely stay again."

"My second visit here was just as brilliant as the first visit, a different room this time but just as nice, with excellent views over the sea and harbour. A friendly welcome on my arrival and a spotless, very spacious room. The whole property looks like it’s been fully renovated recently and their attention to detail is excellent, nice fluffy towels, quality bedding, really nice decor all make the room feel very comfortable and enjoyable. I’ll be back again when I’m next in the area."
