Lovely location and the rooms are charming and unique. Short walk to the pier. There is a nice reception and bar area.

Cons:

Sign outside could be clearer, we walked past. Not sure it is suitable if you need a lift.

A gorgeous stay, I would absolutely stay again and recommend!
Pros:

The service was fantastic. The staff were so friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate for us. The food was fantastic - we had a full English for breakfast and it was lovely. We also went to the restaurant (Dilsk) which was delicious and felt like a real treat. An excellent location too. We stayed in one of the sea view facing rooms and it was so beautiful.

Cons:

If I’m being picky, the bathrooms could have done with a little bit more of a clean. Something to consider is there is no lift so if you struggle with stairs it may not be suitable. However they do have a luggage lift and are very helpful with moving luggage.
