The Atlantic offers guests a prime location right on the harbour, with many rooms boasting lovely sea views. Guests often enjoy the spacious, modern rooms featuring comfortable beds, well-equipped bathrooms, and even Nespresso machines. The hotel's restaurant is popular, particularly for its daily specials and tasty meals, with the terrace providing a fantastic spot to relax and take in the views; however, some guests have noted that the food wasn't consistently excellent.

Acceptable stay with MINOR issues

stuffy room nighttime noise

The location proved VERY convenient.

Our room felt VERY stuffy due to flower boxes outside blocking airflow. The room was right above the pub entrance so there was nighttime noise. The room wasn't vacuumed during our four nights. Tea and milk weren't always replenished.

Charming Stay with Seaside Views

early check-in helpful staff lovely cafes

The room upgrade I received was a DELIGHT, I could check in early, which allowed me more time to explore. Staff willingly helped with my bags and made lunch and dinner reservations. I appreciated recommendations for lovely cafes. They remembered my name.

I found that the team was accommodating to my late room swap request, THOUGH the biscuits were only provided upon arrival and not replaced.

The menu included a great selection, THERE were plenty of drink choices, and service was quick and friendly. The hotel has a cosy atmosphere, especially welcome after a long day exploring the isles.

The room decor was lovely, the beds were comfortable, and black out blinds ensured solid nights of sleep. A nespresso machine with daily pod top ups added a touch of convenience, i also appreciated the harbor view.
