4 Night stay in total bliss !
Pros:

The relaxed atmosphere as soon as you walk in the door.
The friendliness of all the staff while staying professional. Thank you to all of you for your perfect manners and service.
The meals are exceptional in the restaurant. I recommend the slow braised beef featherblade. Prices aren't too bad, just what you would expect to pay.
We stayed in room 6.
Room was large, amazing sea and village view , which we enjoyed a great deal,, watching the world go by.
It wasn't top of the range furniture, however the chairs at the window were super comfy and the bed was perfect. Like a step back in time. Everything was spotlessly clean. Plenty of storage for those, like us, who overpack.
We enjoyed it that much we are planning on returning with other family members next year.

Cons:

I can honestly say the only niggles I have, one, The shower. Steaming hot, fantastic, however as the shower head faces the shower curtain, the force of the water opens the curtain and it soaks the floors in the bathroom. Pity the shower couldn't be turned around to face the wall. Could save a nasty accident happening.
Two, the entrance door to the room was very loud when trying to close it.as I said, these were just niggles and it would not stop me rebooking at all.
Thank you again for an amazing stay ! See you next summer !
