“Period dwelling on the outskirts of town with good views from front bedrooms.”
The room was on the third floor with a view over the harbour. Well presented and clean but a little dated, as expected. The hotel is on a hillside a little outside the main shopping area so you get great views. There was a continental breakfast included in the price with a selection of breads, cereals, water melon and the usual tea coffee and juice

“Mike 🇬🇧”
This property is located on high ground with great views over the ocean. It is literally on the edge of the town with an easy 5 minute walk into town and the waterfront. The owners are very welcoming and informative. Although the management offers laundry facilities, we walked into town to the very clean and efficient public launderette. There are several good restaurants on the waterfront and without the need to drive to them there is the opportunity to admire the ocean view whilst sipping wine.
