A comfortable hotel, good value, only a short walk from the harbour area.
Pros:

Breakfast was good, and dinner was excellent. Staff were friendly and efficient. There was a good-sized lounge for guests , and a large garden

Cons:

We had a "cosy double". It had adequate space, but next time I might pay more for a standard double.

I enjoyed my stay with the main highlight being the excellent cuisine.
Pros:

The meals were superb. The hotel grounds are very attractive. The staff are friendly and helpful. Overall the hotel is comfortable and relaxing.

Cons:

No lift, so may be an issue for guests for some guests. The hotel is in an elevated location from the town centre, so something of a climb for guests on foot.
