We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at Bannisters for my husband's birthday. The room was very clean and spacious with a lovely balcony overlooking the pool. We loved that the hotel supplied binoculars for whale watching too. The infinity pool was definitely the highlight, we enjoyed swimming and chilling by the pool.

Always an enjoyable place to stay, including in the colder months when less people stay there. Watching the sun rise over the horizon early morning, is every photographers dream moment. Breakfast in the mornings is a must...the views, the coffee, the eggs Benedict, what a perfect way to start the day. Will definitely be returning many more times...
Nothing like having the pool to yourself.
Early morning magical sun rise.
Smashed avo...done to perfection.
Love this art work of Chalky.

relaxing but needs a facelift

showing some signs of wear and tear, toilet was very dirty - dark marks at the back which were off-putting. The location is lovely, bed comfy, quiet and peaceful but not the type of luxury accommodation which you would expect at that price point.

The location is beautiful as it’s right on the water. I was unable to order room service at 7pm as the app wouldn’t let me and the room service menu didn’t have a lot of options. The room service breakfast was delicious though
