A nice older motel on the waterfront, the room was clean though somewhat tired looking. It was close to everything within the town, we would stay there again.

It was very convenient to all restaurants and activities. Plenty of space in the rooms. Staff accommodated for our ebikes by placing them in their shed. Waterfront site.
Jules, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay.

Brilliant setting with a beautiful view of the harbour. Facilities were all modern and well maintained. Roominess was perfectly adequate, bed was comfortable. We generally opt for budget accommodation, but the little extra we paid was very well worth it. Would recommend it and would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful property on the sea side. No roads in front of you, just the bay. Nice and peaceful. Will definitely come back here.

10/10 Exceptional

The studio was fantastic with the lovely view. Large windows and a patio door leading to a balcony. The design was well thought out. One of the best accommodation I had stayed in. Very peaceful and quiet but it was a Thursday night and in August. Wish we could stay longer but we had to fly back to UK.
