Lovely aspect overlooking the harbour. Our room was tastefully decorated with a great, big, comfy bed. Although there is no onsite parking, there is a car park less than five minutes walk away, or you might be fortunate enough to park on the road outside - either way - its not an issue. The harbour is a five minute walk away, and the High Street, if you want to go out for the evening is only ten minutes away - but make sure that you leave room for the fantastic breakfast!
