Book directly with hotel my husband and five other just returned home from a stay here. It was excellent and breakfast was fantastic they were over for fishing weekend and staff were brilliant every accomodating price was great they will definitely be back
Really nice owners who bent over backwards to help us out - even before they realised we were staying with them. Don’t expect the Ritz- it’s not and they don’t pretend to be. Very laid back, which is typical of the island. Rooms spotlessly clean, fantastic location- right on the harbour. There are stairs, so be aware of that. Absolutely perfect for what we wanted - thank you so much (especially for the little extra touches).
