We were greeted with friendly smiles and surprised with a welcome drink made from the in-house Gin they make there. Room was clean and comfortable. We had a lovely dinner at The Gannet Restaurant. We'll be back !!

Good location, Gannet restaurant is exceptional, but it does get busy so best to book. All of the staff were friendly. Bed super comfy, room adequate, but wished we had booked one with a balcony.

Large room, with a partial view of the sea. The room had a Meaco de-humidifier which was a nice touch. Beautiful shower and toilet area. The duvet and linens were exceptional.
