The pink vacation cottage was perfection - just loved the location, the bath products, and all the little touches like milk in the fridge and easy peasy recycling. Charming, walkable little town. Would come back in a heartbeat!
Lovely hotel and facilities. Rooms are really clean. Beds are very comfortable. Lovely linen. Food at the harbourmaster is excellent as are the staff. Definitely plan to return soon.
Staff were very friendly and welcoming, slight hiccup with Expedia as hotel said the room was not oaid fir even though i had paid in full on booking,
Receptionist
Lovely hotel in brilliant position. Very friendly staff, beautiful comfy room with huge freestanding bath and shower. Easy free parking nearby. Vegan options for breakfast and evening meal and good choice of drinks. Mix of shops and coffee shops very close and beautiful setting looking out to the water. Very much enjoyed our stay. We drove to nearby national trust property and to other coastal areas for
walks.

Staff brilliant. Food wxceptional, bravo to the chefs!!! Accommodation and hospitality fantastic!
The property was very quirky. It was well maintained and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
There was not a lot of space for clothes e.g. drawers or shelves for putting clothes, only the one very small wardrobe.
If anyone has problems with stairs there was a spiral staircase which was quite tricky. It looks amazing though. The breakfast was very nice, no self service, all brought to the table.
Wasn't expecting such a beautiful luxury two bed apartment. Loving everybits. Ps It does have a fan hiding in the wardrobe that the hotel staff didn't realised. Parking is easy and the whole area is lovely. The view is amazing too! WiFi is great.

Such friendly staff! A beautiful location and the room had a lovely view over the harbour. Clean, comfortable room with a sofa which we appreciate as we’re not comfortable to watch TV at night in bed. Excellent evening meal too.

Lovely building. Excellent single bedroom with views over the river. Staff welcoming
I loved my stay here! Everything about it was perfect - my room was cosy and warm with all the facilities I needed (including a coffee machine!) and a sea view, the food was amazing (I ate here in the evening as well as for breakfast) and staff were friendly and helpful. If the price is right (I got a discounted rate this time due to having some one key credit), I will definitely stay again :)
