"It was a lovely place to stay, beautiful views of the harbour from the lounge, eating our breakfast was lovely looking out the window with the little chairs & table, very clean, staff when we had a problem with the tv, was resolved quickly, lovely breakfast they left, bread, cereal, milk, tea, coffee, butter, orange juice, the walk to the harbour had lots of steps to climb back up, but we quickly seen when ypu reach the bottom of the steps the co-op shop, where a bus parked, and realised it went past our window, so could catch it back if you find them hard to climb back up them, which wasn't easy, but everything was lovely."
