Pros:

Fantastic location and such a unique experience.
Spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable. Private balcony looking straight onto the harbour.
An amazing quiet hideaway.

Cons:

An earlier check in at 3pm instead of 4pm and a later checkout at 11am instead of 10am would be appreciated.

A lovely stay in a beautiful place. We would certainly return.
Pros:

We stayed in Cabin 8 and loved the space and views! Parking for two cars was really handy although we walked to the marina restaurants and cafes easily.

Cons:

All of the mattresses need replacing - they were all hard and lumpy which we got used to and wouldn’t stop us staying again but I’m surprised they haven’t been upgraded.

Pros:

Quiet , clean and beautifully decorated

Cons:

The apartments were lovely and clean, the only small negative would be the steepness of the spiral staircase and lack of shower in the room where there was a bath
