Really fabulous location, friendly staff, great breakfast and coffee
Pros:

Continental Breakfast was fabulous. Really helpful friendly staff and the menus and information available in room meant we had a very relaxing stay, nothing too much trouble for staff. Wish we had stayed another night. We would rebook

Can't beat the view and location
Pros:

Fantastic location, welcoming and helpful staff, great seaview from my room, contemporary decor, good breakfast, comfortable bed. Slept like a log. Excellent value for money.

Cons:

Minor points: room a bit chilly on arrival but rectified quickly once heating turned on, hot water could be a little hotter for an enjoyable bath.

I recommend this hotel for the location and view of the harbour although rooms are small and cramped despite being well-
Pros:

The location by the harbour and the pub food and drink.

Cons:

The rooms are well designed but very small.

Pretty happy with it. Quiet enough at night to get a good night's sleep.
Pros:

Good continental breakfast.

Cons:

No teaspoon in the room for tea making. No plug in hand-basin. Corridors were dark. Handrails on stairs were sticky.

Magnifique emplacement en bord de mer
Pros:

Emplacement idéal face à la mer, on dort au son des vagues, un bonheur. Lit confortable et petits trucs à manger à disposition. On a le choix entre douche et baignoire, un luxe ! Enfin un garçon membre du personnel extrêmement serviable m’a aidée à descendre ma valise et à la mettre dans le taxi.

Cons:

Il n’y a pas d’ascenseur et les escaliers sont très raides, attention si vous êtes chargés. Le sèche cheveux fonctionnait mal. La réception est difficile à trouver et mal indiquée, et il n’y a pas toujours quelqu’un.
