"Lovely hotel, however better lighting outside the hotel would be good as we arrived at night on a motorbike and unfortunately didn't see the drop between the grass and tarmac which caused my husband to fall when getting off the bike. Room was very nice. Staff were friendly. Ideal for catching the ferry next day."
