10/10 Excellent
"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."

"Parking wasn’t great you had pay to staying considering it’s not like it’s near a shopping area , we parked with blue badge in the disabled area the lift was not available to use from that area at all ,it seems always like it so pointless having blue badge area without having the right access to reception, using the stairs was difficult hard going , only once you found reception did see another carpark , should have proper signs displayed, Bedroom window is broken and big gap for cold wind coming in room has no proper heating either rusty plug in heater , rooms cleaned to high standard, but only one towel per person provided and one pillow each on beds that’s poor at least should have two , outside the hotel needs some attention and should be no smoking standing at front doors it’s disgusting and thst including staff too Apart from thst we where happy the price and size of rooms just need few details sorting and painting,"
