Pros:

Easy access to town and harbour. Friendly helpful staff. Nice breakfasts. Spacious room. Sparrows nesting all over the garden especially in the hornbeam hedge. Private parking.

Cons:

I have mobility issues, and the stairs were very challenging for me. A banister that is easier to hold would help.
