Reasonable price for a comfortable stay.
Pros:

Great breakfast with lovely views across the bay.

Cons:

The annex where I stayed felt less comfortable and cosy than being in the main hotel building. It didn’t feel as secure having the door straight out to the car park. I would have found it more acceptable if it was a dog friendly room with the outdoor/patio garden part, makes better sense.

Did what it said on the tin. No real disasters and comfortable inside.
Pros:

Room was nice and warm after a cool start. Facilities were good and a nice view out of the window. Very comfortable, nice decor.

Cons:

The bathroom was rather cold. Parking was only just available, last space.

I would definitely stay again but there are some things in need of updating.
Pros:

The hotel is in a great location, close to the Main Street and harbour. The reception area is lovely welcoming and cosy. It has great views of harbour and islands over the water. We had really nice meals in the evenings and first morning was a buffet breakfast with a great selection of food on offer. On the second morning as there were not many guests we had breakfast from the menu. Staff were also very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The water in the sink and showers were lukewarm in my room and my parent’s room. Rooms was clean but are in much need of updating. There was no carpet in my parents room, and the curtains were very creased and very old looking. We also attempted to use the swimming pool but it was extremely cold so much that we couldn’t use it, I only got to use the steam room for a short time, was disappointing.

Don't Bother ! Yes
Pros:

I liked the fish and chips we got from the 3rd best chip shop in UK.

Cons:

The hotel is very dated in decor, the room number 44 was terrible, creaky floor boards, shower didn't work properly, rent a kill box under the bed, not enough sockets.....I could go on but it ruined our holiday as much as to say I drove for 10 hours to get back home......
