Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is set in a lovely, quiet location, tucked away from busy areas, providing a stress-free break. The rooms offer beautiful views of the pretty garden and serve fantastic food, but the mature staff/owners could be a bit more welcoming. The dining experience was quick and well-cooked, although it started a bit late. Overall, a relaxing stay close to many attractions.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel with clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a fantastic view of the sea. The charm of the Cellar Bar added to the experience, but it might not be suitable for those with mobility issues. The shower was hot and powerful, although the TV in my room took a couple of attempts to get working.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were stunning and spacious with plenty of facilities, and I particularly loved the fresh milk in the fridge. The service was top-notch, with really lovely and accommodating staff, except for one lady at the bar. The location was fantastic, offering beautiful views and a nice atmosphere. The dining experience was mostly excellent, except for guests not wanting a cooked meal. Overall, a great value for money.
