We were there for 2 nights and felt would stay here again. The hotel was wonderful relaxing and fairly clean, had stunning views over the sea. The property's location was absolutely perfect, in the garden of a Tea House next to the Tourist Exchange. Popped in The Red Lion for shots before sleep, it was within walking distance of the venue.
