Disappointing for a 'boutique hotel"
Pros:

Right on the waterfront. Penguin is so tiny, most accommodation is on or beside the beach anyway.

Cons:

Very ordinary accommodation. Not 4 star, more like 2.5, and not what we expected for boutique accommodation. Room 3 is up a very steep, very narrow staircase with views of a wall and roof tops. Very tired, very small and not particularly comfortable. Shower over bath makes for difficult and dangerous in and out. We received no info on how to get in and lucky someone saw us looking confused at the front door. No contact with anyone else. On the main street with parking out the front on the street. Disappointing for the price.

Pros:

The Location was central

Cons:

The room was dated and had cobwebs everywhere, the heater was insufficient to heat the room. The toilet seat was barely attached, the shower was so low that a child would struggle to fit under it. The walls were so thin we heard every other guest in the hotel if they so much as sneezed and when it was windy there was a constant banging from a roof sheet outside the window and if you consider this is the northwest, it is always windy.

A unique hotel in every way.
Pros:

A beautifully renovated hotel that combines every comfort with nature and art. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and a substantial and well cooked breakfast is included in the price. The owners are very happy to make recommendations when it comes to eating out and enjoy showing you the features of the hotel such as the lead light and the conservatory. It is very welcoming and is a lovely space to relax.

Very comfortable stay on the front of Penguin
Pros:

The most humongous and comfortable bed I've slept in. Room was huge and really comfortable.

Cons:

Not sure the bathroom had been cleaned. Hair in the shower and a used soap in the soap holder.
Never met the staff so couldn't comment.

Pros:

It was quite and cozy and great location very central and clean

Cons:

Me and my partner where staying in room 3 The only negative thing which is not a real big negative but the head board behind the bed was either extremely loose or broken and I’m not sure if anyone’s aware of it but maybe require some sort of attention to it I only noticed it as I wanted to move the second pillow but it was just shoved in between the bed and the headboard and the headboard fell forward a bit so I put the pillow back between the bed and head board
