Positive: Absolutely charming. Location is fantastic. My bedroom and room number nine was stellar with windows that open up over the bay. The breakfast was delicious. Had dinner at the restaurant and it was very good. The walk along the coast to the castle was fabulous. I only wish I could have stayed longer. Highly recommend.
Summary: Fantastic!

Positive: Unfortunately the soundproofing in the bedrooms is very poor. This made for a very disturbed night. The ensuite door was very noisy when opening and closing, something that could be easily fixed with a little adjustment.
Summary: A very generous breakfast and friendly staff helped the situation
