All freshly decorated and spotless. Parking on the street is a lottery but there is a public carpark within a minutes walk. Location right on the quay and easy access to everything. We were blessed with calm sunny days so each morning the quay was a hive of activity with sailing clubs; fishing boats etc"

Single glazing which was mostly ok at this time of year but anyone or vehicle who did go past definitely disturbed our sleep. Bath towels were small, not bath sheets. Lovely friendly staff. Good vibe. Chilled. No parking which we didnt realise until we got there. Would be useful to have that flagged before travelling so you can go straight to one of the public car parks."
