Nice play to stay
Pros:

Our Bellerock room was impeccably clean and fresh. Same for en-suite. A window with sea views which sadly couldn’t be opened.

Cons:

Two large windows with sea views which didn’t open beyond a crack. Lack of summer bedding for hot days

Excellent stay
Pros:

From the moment we were welcomed in warmly at check in our stay was perfect. Each and every one of the staff were wonderful and a big thank you to Jane the housekeeper as I wasn't well on the Wednesday afternoon and she did everything she could to help. We had breakfast and dinner in the restuarant. We had the full Scottish breakfast and it was amazing. We had the Steak pie for dinner and it was the best we had ever tasted. Our room which had a lovely view was the Signal room and had everything we could wish for, the shortbread and the tablet were delicious. There is only one word for The Old Brewhouse and that is PERFECT.

Cons:

There wasn't anything we didn't like.

Jederzeit wieder wenn wir in der Nähe sind.
Pros:

Preisleistung bei den Zimmern ist topp.
Das Essen abends im Pub war hervorragend.
Die Lage direkt am Hafen ist einfach nur schön.

Cons:

Leider gibt es Frühstück erst ab 9:30 morgens. Das ist für viele etwas sehr spät. Wenn man es vorab weiss kann man es aber einplanen.

Stay with a Golden Retriever.
Pros:

The position, the room and how it was laid out for our dog with treats and extras. The wonderful staff.

Cons:

Was all good except for the creaking floor boards. But the property is very old and to be expected.
