A perfect base for exploring, and a cosy hideout for when the wind and rain take over.
Pros:

Great location and a lovely room. Small, but the cosy kind of small. The staff were really helpful and polite.

Cons:

The Wi-Fi in the room was more of a rumour than a connection. Great for a digital detox.
