The room was small. The staff were all friendly and brilliant and did everything to make our stay as good as it could be. The only negative was the attitude of the owner who tried to belittle me because I said the bedroom was small, which it was.

Review of room and service
My wife and were more than happy with the cleanliness of our room, the staff at the hotel bent over backwards to help us as we both have to walk with sticks. The breakfast was amazing could not fault it. We will definitely return. Unfortunately we had to cut our holiday short by 1 day as my wife was taken ill, the reception took everything out of my hands and sorted out the car ferry for us brilliant.

Fantastic value for money would recommend dtaying here. All the staff are wonderful from reception to bar to the excellent breakfast special thanks to Harvey. The hotel has good facilities and is walking distance to beach, bars and restaurants everything you need. Only thing I would change is beds we are used to king size and they are doubles and noisy! Will definitely return.

Just fine for what we needed
We stayed one night as part of a cycle around the Island. The beds were comfortable, room was warm , ample breakfast and good cycle storage. One shower had very poor pressure and a door that didn’t shut properly. No shampoo and conditioner, just a body gel / shampoo that I would use on hair. Basic and just fine.
