harbour view
harbour view friendly owner general store great location
the location was great. the harbour was right outside. the pub was opposite and a general store was just 50m away. the owner was very friendly and he explained everything at the beginning.
the stairs to the rooms are very steep. it is hard to manage with a big suitcase.

Wonderful stay!
spacious apartment convenient ground floor friendly staff fine views
The accommodation had a spacious apartment on the ground floor, very convenient. Friendly staff welcomed me. The village store across the street proved useful, supplying necessities. I appreciated the fine views and good walks nearby.
I noticed the sound proofing could have been better because I could hear the neighbors.

Satisfactory stay
varied choice friendly staff small room dated room
I had a fine breakfast for £10. The selection available on the menu was diverse. We even got sausages for our dogs, which I appreciate. Cath was friendly.
The double room we had was small. The shower room seemed dated and it had a very small hand basin. I think it could use an update.
