"The Hotel has an absolutely unrivalled location.Views are incredible. I was saddened to hear of the uncertainty of its permanence but the building does require some refurbishment. Staff were excellent and room comfortable with stunning sea view. A suggestion.... it's not a Commercial Hotel so why start your breakfast service at 7am.a far better time for guest..and hotel would be 8am till 10:30."

"We had a pet friendly room overlooking the harbour. It was a good size and ample for our two dogs. Some of the furniture is now a little tired, but the bed was comfortable. The reception staff were very helpful and gave our dogs lots of fuss and attention. The restaurant team in the evenings was exceptional. They couldn’t do enough for us. Accommodated us at short notice and even repositioned us so we could watch the sun set. The food was fantastic. The team at breakfast were far less welcoming and a little more care was needed when cooking. We had overcooked bacon and eggs."
