An unusual B&B. Very little personal contact with the owners. No one to welcome us and we were let in on ringing the bell. No dining/breakfast room and breakfast was ordered via leaving a form and then delivered to the bedroom at the time requested. The breakfast was fine though and the hotel clean and comfortable. It was just rather odd and reminded us of going to a hotel at eh height of the Covid pandemic.

Loved our corner room overlooking the harbour. Very comfortable. Breakfast was a pre order which resulted in hot food coming at the same time as the cold!!!! So not ideal but that aside a lovely small niche setup

A perfectly pleasant stay. However it lacks the human touch. Everything is automated and seems organised to minimise interaction between host and guest. Breakfast - all three courses at the same time left at your door - eating cereal first meant cold bacon sandwich and cold toast. Run for the proprietor not the guest.
