Perfect end to my holiday
Pros:

The bedroom was amazing, the bed was so comfortable and the view was amazing.
Food in the restaurant was beautiful and the staff were really nice. Everything was clean. It was just like the picture from the site.

Cons:

The walk back to the car park but that isn't the fault of the property. Due to location parking isn't possible

Fabulous.
Pros:

Staff were terrific and the attic suite was fun with a lovely little window that opened on a beautiful view of the harbour. The location was terrific. The bed was comfortable and everything worked well. An early morning hike up the hill and around the promontory onto the south was magical, and the breakfast after that was perfect. The fish market across the street had nice fresh crab and lobster.

Cons:

The navigation on our rental tried to send us down an impossible route but locals were patient as we managed to back up and not scratch the car or damage any property. A better route got us to the hotel but if it was a busy day it would have been very difficult to get back out to the parking lot up the hill. I would consider urging quests not to bother trying to drive all the way down.

Great staff, great food, great location
Pros:

Lovely friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast & great food - great location right at the heart of the village.

Cons:

WiFi was unreliable but the staff did get it going for us eventually. (The TV is connected via the WiFi, so no WiFi = no TV !) I must stress that the staff were very helpful and did everything to help
