“This inn's prime harbourside position provides a truly captivating outlook, particularly enjoyable with breakfast. While the rooms are comfortable, with some benefiting from recent upgrades, the genuine warmth and attentiveness of the staff, especially Karen, elevate the experience significantly, making it a place I would gladly return to.”
