Property location is very convenient. And the sea view rooms are very good. However, I think the beds had bed bugs in the them as our kids and a few insect bite marks on their face and legs.

I was lucky to get a room on the ground level, so I didn’t have to drag the bags upstairs. It’s a nice setting. The room was comfortable, and everything worked.

View of bay and location to town.

Older property, but it’s the view that makes it worth it being right on the bay. Walking distance to everything in town. Room was clean and had kettle, toaster, coffee machine and microwave. Bathroom was very dated and beds were hard and uncomfortable.

Slightly tired

This hotel is a little old and dated but otherwise ok. One big problem is that there is no lift to the second and third floors and the shower is over the bath. The view is peaceful.

don't miss this one!

Nice spacious room with beautiful view of the sea. No kitchen but there was a small microwave. The bathroom was clean and had a big bathtub. Close drive to nearby cafe. Also a restaurant downstairs which we did not go to. If you like fishing, this is the place you should NOT miss. On the wharf deck it's a brilliant place for fishing and I caught three huge ones in 30min.

Eccentric charm

Very old-fashioned motel-style property - no changes to decor for at least 30 years. Our room was huge with a balcony on two sides - views were fabulous. Bathroom was also enormous with a corner whirlpool bath. Worth booking one of these corner rooms (207 or 307) if staying more than one night. No lift to upper floors. Free guest laundry
