Was lovely but don’t think I would recommend to family & friends.
Pros:

Great view & beautiful location!

Cons:

Our room was not cleaned properly especially the bathroom was dirty. Water in jug from previous guest. Hand towel dirty used. Bathroom needs attention in cleaning like mould retreat or actually cleaning it and not spray and wipe, not hygienic at all. Toilet area was leaking water from the rain.
Sorry I’m a Housekeeping Supervisor so this just was not exceptable and for the value of the room disappointed.

The property was super close to where we needed to be!

Cons:

So the property double booked us moved us multiple times into various rooms which we did not meet what we had asked for! Then wanted to charge us more for the room provided that had mould and cobwebs everywhere

An enjoyable two night stay.
Pros:

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were very nice but did not intrude. Fruit on the table, a coffee machine and complimentary sherry or port for a little night cap in the lounge area.

Cons:

Didn't see the penquins but that was always on the cards, there were no guarantees.

I would have preferred to have updated photos and information related to the stay.
Pros:

There wasn’t a breakfast.

Cons:

It wasnt overly clean, there was also a LOT of noise being made by the floor above us, between 10pm and around 3am sounding like moving furniture.
The wifi also did not work.
