Nice old fashioned hotel with spectacular views to the small isles from the rooms, terrace and restaurant. |Comfortable room with quality toiletries.|Easy parking.|Good service from friendly staff. |Surprisingly limited menu of typical pub food. ( I think that the previous chef had left.)

Stayed for one night at this lovely hotel. We had a jacuzzi room overlooking the sea, it was stunning. We are in the restaurant, service was a little slower than it should have been but once we received our dinner it was delicious. …

Room was with a great view. Restaurant in the hotel had an amazing view. We got the best table and food was also good.My only complaint here is no elevator to the hotel. You come with lots of suitcases on your trip thinking this would be a nice location to stay, you'll have to haul everything. And we got 3rd floor room 🙄. It's no fun and no help to haul as well. That was sick after a long day of traveling. Think before you book your room here. Ask for 1st floor may be.
