Seagull alarm clock and available menu
Room was comfortable however the seagulls kept us awake every morning from 5am walking on the roof (Room5) There were a couple of examples where ingredients listed for food items on the menu were left out, proving to be a disappointment for some dishes. The gnocchi didn't have any chestnuts, The pancakes didn't have coconut yoghurt for example. More vegetarian options would have been welcomed.

Room was lovely - but kitchen staff below it were super noisy - lots of shouting. Feels under (experienced) staffed and unwelcoming.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The bedroom was very very dark. I did mention it to the gentleman but he seemed uninterested by my comments. The tea/coffee tray was inside the wardrobe on a shelf. It was so dark in the room I had to use the light on my phone to get items. That's despite there being 3 small lamps scattered about and a floor lamp. There wasn't a main ceiling light. May be a light to come on as you open the wardrobe door. It's a very very small room and there are 3 chairs and a table in it. Not necessary. There was a good book of how to... and tips for the local area. The nesspresso machine was nice and there was a lovely Roberts radio so some luxurious items. The bathroom was beautiful Stylish and bright. However there was not a bath so we had to use a hand towel. Nice toiletries and a wonderful shower.
