"From the room at the rear we could see the harbour over the rooftops, the smell in the bakery kitchen one floor below was scrumptious."

generally positive experience

central location fun decor cosy room overcooked bacon small sink winding stairs

the location was close to the town centre. i found the decor to be kooky and fun. the room was nice and cosy and i enjoyed the overall stay (it was quite relaxing).

the bacon was overcooked at breakfast. the sink in the bathroom was too small and had a poor design. narrow winding stairs made getting up and down difficult, especially with suitcases.

easy access friendly staff quality ingredients harbor view

The location offered easy access to many attractions. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit. Breakfast was a highlight. The quality of the ingredients stood out. My room faced the harbor, so i had a really nice view.

The stairs were steep. i wasn't expecting that. it's a very minor point overall.
