“My exploration of this inn revealed a genuinely welcoming atmosphere, with a particular warmth extended to pets, making it clear comfort is a priority. The stunning harbour views from the rooms and the downstairs bar are truly remarkable, complemented by a thoughtfulness in breakfast service that extends to accommodating specific dietary needs. It strikes me as a place that gets the fundamentals right with a friendly, family-run touch, offering solid value and a feeling of home.”
