Pros:

Great location, really comfortable and super-friendly staff.

Cons:

Our room appeared to be directly below the bar/restaurant so it wasn’t the quietest early-doors.

Enjoyable but for the breakfast shortfall.
Pros:

The room (no.2) was lovely and the bath quirky! Being able to sit up in bed and see the harbour was delightful.

Cons:

The breakfast was limited and on both days of our stay the sausage must have been cooked several times to be so hard and dry. Also there was no gluten free option, no yoghurt or fresh fruit salad on either day and no staff interest in this shortfall.
