Pros
The harbourfront location provides direct access to the South West Coast Path and views of daily harbour activity.
The restaurant serves locally sourced seafood and meats, complemented by a choice of breakfast options.
Self-catering options, such as Cobblestone Cottage, offer flexibility for families or longer stays.
“Right on the harbour, the location alone makes it a winner. The spacious rooms are more like well-equipped apartments, complete with kitchen and living area. I especially appreciate the comfortable beds and up-to-date decor; plus the friendly welcome adds to the appeal.”
