Really good Stay
quick check-infriendly staffreally good breakfastlimited lighting control
Check-in was quick and simple. The reception staff were warm and friendly and gave all necessary information. The room was super clean and well presented, offering all facilities needed for a pleasant stay. Breakfast was really good with fresh fruit and a good range of cereal.
The room lighting had limited control. It was either all on or all off. More control over the lighting would improve the guest experience.
Dining
9/10
The restaurant provides excellent food. Breakfast included a full buffet with a wide range of hot options, cereals, fresh fruit salad, yogurt, and pastries. There is also a circular bar lounge with harbour and lifeboat views.
