    sea view
    superb food
    outdoor play space

    We had a fantastic stay at this cozy spot! The family suite was perfect for us, featuring a small kitchen with supplies for tea and coffee. The view of the sea and fishing boats was absolutely stunning, and the food at the restaurant was simply superb.

    For dads, it would be great if there was more outdoor play space for the kids.

    fresh scallops
    fantastic breakfast
    top-notch meals
    poor steak cooking

    We had an amazing four-night stay, where the highlight was definitely the fresh scallops served for lunch, and the delightful breakfast spread that included a fantastic full Scottish. The meals were genuinely top-notch, and nothing like the usual fare I’ve had before. I’d absolutely choose this place again!

    Great spot for a chill stay

    The view from our room was lovely, and we enjoyed picking from the dinner menu. Super cozy vibes and the staff were so friendly! Only thing was the breakfast options were a bit basic, more variety would be nice!

    The room offered a superb sea view, making mornings a treat with picturesque horizons. Meals excelled, featuring fresh seafood and a solid breakfast selection. Delightful packed lunches for exploration.

    The immediate surroundings lacked charm, bordering on industrial, which might not appeal to everyone. while the dining room was inviting, a lounge area would enhance the relaxation options, though it’s unclear where they’d fit it without reworking the bar. A broken divan issue was resolved promptly, but starting off on a sofa wasn’t ideal.

    I gotta say, the food was absolute heaven. I had this curry that was just memorable, not to mention, the staff were super friendly. They really cared about making the experience enjoyable.

    It wasn't cheap but it was still reasonable considering the quality.

    comfy room
    nice decor
    good view
    standard hotel vibes
    nothing memorable

    The Double Room was pretty comfy and nicely decorated. It had everything I needed for a one-night stay, including a decent amount of space. The view from the window was awesome, looking right at the sea. It felt warm and welcoming. Good bathroom setup too, clean and modern. Not much to complain about, just standard hotel vibes really.
