to get started.

Your attention to detail despite my visit coming during an unexpected bereavement was excellent (thank you for the beautifully presented message on the bar). I would like you to know that your staff 'stepped up' as I'm sure you would have expected. They were discrete, yet warmly welcoming & gave excellent service. The breakfasts were well cooked & well presented by cheerful staff.

A beautiful boutique hotel, with gorgeous views of the beach and sunrise each morning. Delicious breakfast, friendly staff who add a personal touch, and a short walk from the town centre to visit local attractions, bars and restaurants. I would happily stay here again.

This is a charming historic property with incredible beach front and sunrise views. We enjoyed the champagne bar and the easy walk to Town. The staff was very friendly and made us a hot breakfast. I enjoyed the decor in the lobby and our room. This was a great stop on our tour.

We loved this place! My wife wasn't feeling good when we arrived and the owners made sure she was really comfortable, upgrading us to nicer room with an extremely comfortable bed, which my wife still is raving about! The bathroom was fantastic with a great shower and heated floor. Owners were friendly and lovely to talk to during breakfast. And, the breakfast itself was really tasty! Great place to stay!

The webpage on Booking.com and the hotel's own website gave this hotel a better report than needed. There was nothing wrong with the hotel but neither was there anything wow about it. The Champagne bar closed at 6pm. The time I imagine people generally think about having a drink.
Friendly staff. Easy location to find and off street parking. At check in we were given a slightly bigger room than the one we had booked.

The only point we would have is that our room was beside the cleaning room so in the morning when they started cleaning other rooms it was quite loud, but didn't really bother us.
The room was lovely, really cosy and comfy. Would definitely stay again, it was great.

I was a woman in her sixties travelling alone for work who stayed for several nights. I would have appreciated a microwave so that I could heat some, not all, meals in my room.

Nothing! This is our second time staying there and will definitely be back.
We had a fabulous stay here. The rooms are so cosy and have a real homely feel to them. The staff are so attentive and friendly and really make you feel comfortable. Highly recommend getting up slightly early and watching the sunrise across the road..
