Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although small, were comfortable, quiet, beautifully decorated, and offered stunning sea views. However, being in a separate building from the main one for breakfast was a minor inconvenience. The service was outstanding with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff throughout. The location was lovely for coastal walks but a bit isolated with limited dining options nearby. The dining experience was good overall but could benefit from more variety in breakfast choices. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel's location is simply stunning in the beautiful fishing hamlet of Portloe, offering constant interest and breathtaking views. The rooms are well-appointed and feature high-quality fixtures, although mine was a bit small. The service was excellent, and I felt truly welcomed at every interaction. The dining experience was broad and of high quality, providing a diverse range of delicious options.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was just perfect, offering stunning sea views and a peaceful atmosphere for unwinding. The rooms were clean and cozy, but some areas felt a bit worn out. The service was top-notch, with everyone being extremely friendly and accommodating. The dining experience was a highlight, with a delicious range of options every day. Overall, a great value for money with some minor room improvements needed.
The hotel offers stunning views of the harbor and slipway from the rooms, including a private terrace area for relaxation. The rooms were spacious and had double aspect windows. The service was exceptional, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The location was amazing, providing a wonderful stay with the sound of waves lulling you to sleep. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially on the balcony overlooking the bay.
