The view and the staff

Cons:

Valve for money, we paid £147 per night, I feel the 40% fee was based on location

Looking forward to another stay sometime.
Pros:

A unique building with a fascinating history. Lovely to lie in bed and hear the waves gently crashing in on the shore, very relaxing. The Hosts were very friendly and chatty and are fortunate to be in guardianship of such a beautiful building. I was out early in the morning to walk along the sea front and look back at the Hotel to admire it's design. Considering mine was a last minute booking I could hardly have done better !

Stunning stay!
Pros:

Absolutely stunning location, the staff were so sweet and kind - lovely warm welcome and breakfast was always served with a smile! The views at breakfast and from our room were spectacular! Town is only a 10 mins walk away (takes a little longer to get back up the hill if you’ve had a few pints!!) and there’s lots to do and some great places to eat and drink on the evenings! Highly recommend!!!

Not particularly good value for money. Would not visit again
Pros:

Food was reasonable. Difficult to park car because of parking layout.

Cons:

Definitely NOT 4 star. Property in dire need of renovation and update. Photographs on website made hotel look bigger than it actually was. Room uncomfortable. It was very hot - needed some kind of air-conditioning/fan. Outdated shower system in bathroom.
