Room n location review
Pros:

Nice location only stayed 1 night would definitely come back

Cons:

Our room didn't have a spa barth like I thought and the location of our room would have been much better and nicer to have had room with a balcony and spa barth like I thought we were getting but relatively I guss that reflects on the price we were charged witch was very reasonable and would definitely come back next time I would book directly with them so ie get the right room balcony/ spa

Location was brilliant for our visit. Close to harbour, cafes and restaurants. Staff were great.

Good for comfortable sleeping
Pros:

It was clean and beds comfortable. The actual room was bit strange since it is detached from the main building with no view

Cons:

We could not get the WiFi to work. No view and the room was next to the parking and the road. Not too much noise but it felt strange
