A brilliant hotel, amazing location, incredible rooms which were very clean, modern and well equipped. All staff very attentive and happy to help and always on hand including management.

A sea room was amazing during the whale season as you really could see from the bay from the balcony. Felt completely safe and relaxed at all times. Breakfast was very tasty and lots of great places to eat for dinner in really close walking distance. Would definitely recommend! Can’t fault our stay. Read less

We had a really lovely stay at this hotel. We were there for 2 nights and both rooms were spotless and had balconies that had sea views. They have plenty of parking, the staff are very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was delicious. We didn’t use the pool as it was a bit cold. If you get a chance do the cliff walk you’ll see lots of nature… Read more
