How often can we say we love a hotel? Well, we really loved this one. This is quite a historic building which has been extensively upgraded with tremendous flair, while remaining true to the original. Everything is impeccable. Bedrooms quietly luxurious, supremely comfortable beds and bedding. Good breakfast, light suppers available, private parking. And a spa if that’s your thing. It’s in a lovely quiet, tree-lined street. Our room 9 had a view of the sea about 100 yards down a short side street, which leads on to an extensive promenade running along the shore. 12 minutes drive to ferry. For us, best we’ve encountered in years. Last but not least, welcoming, smiling obliging staff who obviously lovely the place as much as we did.
