The room was great, two double beds and a lovely balcony. The corridor to get to our room was very dated and dull, but overall the hotel was good. Staff were lovely and brekkie the next morning was brilliant.

Lovely Victorian styled property. It is a little dated but charming. Great location - close to restaurants, markets, shopping and beaches. Parking arrangements, eventhough offsite, were very convenient and close to the property. Staff were very helpful.
