LORNA, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent position overlooking seafront. Low ceilings and steep stairs to attic room but understandable given age of building. No dedicated parking but can park close by (free) provided not at a busy time with daytrippers. Excellent meals served in bar.

10/10 Excellent

I stayed with my child in a twin room, a lovely window seat on looking the sea to the side, tea and coffee with complimentary biscuits. Beds very comfy, warm and clean room with a large shower bathroom with complimentary hand soap, shower gel and body wash. Modern and clean areas, the door to our room was abit awkward to lock but after a few attempts we managed. The bar and restaurant area downstairs is inviting, staff friendly and helpful. Car parking is on the street or plenty car parks outside along the harbour and car parks in multiple places by the shore front, all easy access, easy walking distance and free.

Jon, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great vaue for money , in fact unbelievable to stay for under £60 , room for two inc breakfast . We were in room 7 , clean , warm and quirky due to sloped ceilings but that adds to character . Only blemish is repairs required around bay window but not the end of the world . Stairs to climb but worth it for a great view . Fantastic shower with loads of hot water and pressure . Breakfast was hot, plentiful and tasty with plenty continental choice as well . Would stay again in a heartbeat . Thanks for a lovely stay in a great wee village .
