Fantastic stay with amazing sea views

great location sea view spacious apartment onsite cafe
The location is great and a short walk to the ferry terminal. The apartment was spacious and comfortable with wonderful sea views. I especially appreciated the cleanliness throughout the hotel. The Seashell Cafe inside the building was very convenient for quick bites.
The stairs needed vacuuming upon arrival (just a minor thing).
Dining
9/10
The Seashell Cafe offered reasonably priced breakfast and light bites on weekends. Food presentation was excellent and the service was first class. I had lovely coffee (it was a real treat!).

Average stay with a few drawbacks

lovely location wonderful view constant heat inconsistent wifi
The location was a definite plus. I saw the ferry terminal easily and the front garden was accessible whenever the cafe was closed. The views of the bays from all the windows were also wonderful.
My room had an issue with heat. It was quite uncomfortable and made it hard to relax after work. The WiFi was also inconsistent and dropped often.
