Comfortable stay, albeit pricey.

Room was clean and adequate for a short stay but relatively expensive for facilities provided. Nice crisp linen, but beds felt old. Some noise from nearby rooms and ones above. Towel rail in bathroom was rusty.The TV needs a swivel arm so that it can be watched from the seating area and there needs to be a small table by the soft chairs for drinks etc. The breakfast was excellent with a large choice.

Let down on arranged breakfast

Lovely place, nice location, very friendly staff. We had an early ferry and were offered a breakfast to go, unfortunately no staff was at the desk despite ringing the bell and waiting 15 minutes, so no breakfast, not nice.

Friendly and helpful staff. Food was excellent. Lots of choice for breakfast. Recommend surf and turf for evening meal. We stayed in single rooms which had everything we needed and were clean and priced competitively. Hotel is situated directly in front of the bay.

A reasonable stay. Good points were breakfast (fabulous) dinner (delicious) and comfort. Staff were both friendly and helpful though at breafast, you had to gently agitate for service. Price is competetive with other hotels but I think its too much. Demand and supply I suppose. I would actually go back, so woukd recommend

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
When booking in we were told that we were staying not in the hotel but an annexe building. The path to this building was obstructed by a rusty iron gate on the ground. The room had a Yale lock but no handle. The room had wall paper hanging off the ceiling, the shower was filthy and the plinth was missing. The furniture and carpet were stained. The room and bathroom were both very small.When we complained that the room bore no resemblance to the pictures on Expedia’s website we were told that the hotel was full. However they did promptly arrange alternative accommodation for us at another hotel.

We stayed one night. A small room but clean. We sat in the garden for a drink. Breakfast was good, we did not eat in the restaurant for our evening meal. Excellent position and we enjoyed a sunny afternoon so a bonus.

Last min overnight

Booked last minute due to the ferries being cancelled following day. Lovely cosy wee hotel. Dinner was lovely, the room was small but really nice. Staff friendly. Breakfast was lovely and the place had a lovely chilled atmosphere. Would come again
