    Some rooms carry unpleasant odors!!! A clearer communication regarding parking and facility access can greatly improve the experience!!! Updates and repairs are definitely needed, especially on bathrooms and communal areas!!!

    Best views and yummy breakfast!

    We stayed 3 nights and loved the fine views! The breakfast was super tasty, especially the french toast 🍞 Everyone was really friendly and helpful. The bar was really fun too! Just wish the parking wasn't such a hassle. It's a bit cramped around there.

    The rooms were compact and luxurious with an electric kettle, central heating and an iron. The bed was exceptionally comfortable; and there was a bath. This accommodation was in the central location right on the seafront. Moreover, it's right by the cathedral, the bay and the harbour.

    A Nice Night with Beautiful Views

    We enjoyed a pleasant stay, with fine views from our room. The staff were accommodating, especially when they offered us an early breakfast before my cycling event. Highly recommend trying the local seafood in the dining area. It's really good! Just be sure to check meal times.

    The relaxed and friendly atmosphere created by both the staff and the hotel setting itself, excellent food, easy access to town and facilities. Would definitely go back!

    Limited parking which has to be reserved and if you don't get a space you have to find one which can be a few hundred yards from hotel, not so easy if you have children/elderly companions etc
