"Really beautiful hotel in an amazing location. Couldn't recommend enough! We had been considering a larger chain hotel up the hillside, but being right on the sea meant a quick 10 minute walk to the harbour and less taxi trips. The concierge was great for making calls for us. The afternoon tea service was delicious as well!"
