    Can’t think of anything really. Our room had an old styled bath which took up a lot of space in the bedroom. The shower was big so not sure why both were there. But others probably love it!

    The house has been beautifully furnished and decorated and the location is ideal for the ferry and to walk into town. The breakfast was cooked in an open plan kitchen which was super.

    Simply Great! Enjoyed the welcome and kindness of the staff. Perfect room, excellent breakfast. Particularly liked the way how they run the bar, based on trust - you take the drink, list it…and pay on the check out day.

    Our room was at the top of three flights of stairs and there’s no lift, but our luggage was carried to the room, which helps!

    Beautifully maintained and very comfortable.Lovely welcome with a glass of champagne. Breakfast was outstanding.

    My only complaint was that the pillows were a bit lacklustre.

    Really lovely decor in the lounge area and a well stocked honesty bar was a great touch. The staff were incredibly attentive and made us feel immediately welcome. Our room was also lovely.

    Not a lot of room for clothes if staying longer than day or two. Not a lot bathroom space for toiletries. Understand space would be difficult but trying to come up with something we didn’t like is also a problem!

    We loved the decor. Very quirky with beautiful furnishings. Quiet location with wonderful Sea Views. Great Breakfast.

    The only thing was the bedroom we had was compact but the sitting room was a lovely place to relax in, so that made up for the space.

    Location was great on the esplanade with great view. Staff were so helpful & just lovely. The decor fab and colourful. Morning tray with juice & pastries very unexpected. Breakfast wonderful. It was a fabulous place to stay and would definitely stay again

    I could only write something here if I am in a mood to complain.

    Everything, from the moment you enter the hotel you are served a fine glass of prosecco. There is someone who will explain anything on your stay and may even give you some great tips for your further travel. It all has the feel of a 5-star B&B with a really distinguished interior design. The showers worked will and the bed made you sleep like a baby.

    An unforgettable stay. The concierge gave us the warmest welcome, setting the tone for a truly special experience. The location by the sea is stunning, and the cosy common area with an honesty bar made it feel just like home. Our room was stylish, comfortable, and beautifully designed. Breakfast, cooked in front of us by a chef, was a real treat. This is true luxury with a relaxed, intimate atmosphere, and the charming town makes it even more perfect
