Annette the owner is lovely. The hotel has been refurbished in a trendy shabby chic way. Very nice and comfortable. Good beds and decent sized bedrooms. ( we were a family of 4) Annette runs a tight ship. She has great staff and the whole hotel is gleaming. Breakfast is the best bit. I had haddock and poached eggs -... More

We enjoyed our recent stay here which was good value for money. The room was clean and adequate, although not luxurious, with a wonderful sea view. The public areas were very good with a pleasant bar and restaurant and great outdoor seating areas- very continental. Service was efficient and friendly - would recommend.

A good location for a walking weekend on the island. Friendly, helpful staff. The hotel was clean and rooms well serviced although some, at the back of the building were very small. The breakfast menu was good and service quick and efficient. We also had one evening meal in which was good and reasonably priced. I would recommend this hotel... More

Stayed for two nights at the beginning of May. Location is wonderful, right by the beach, staff were helpful & friendly. The rooms are small but didn't spend much time there as too busy out exploring the island.

I was working on the island for my company and after staying at a previous hotel the week before that was not very good, I wanted to change hotels. I came across this one by accident the manager offered the room at the same price and although breakfast was at 8.30 she arranged it for 8 so I could have... More

Thoroughly recommend this hotel - I was upgraded from a single room to a double room with a balcony with no extra charge and I felt really welcomed, which always makes so much difference when you're travelling on your own.

Having been here for an evening drink and entertainment with my mother last year, we decided to pop in for an impromptu cream tea whilst visiting the Island this week. Well we returned twice again! Massive scones freshly baked with a good quality pot of tea was enjoyed by all. Lovely clean smelling reception area and a very warm welcome... More
