Quite place with great view. Friendly staff, breakfast included ( Irish breakfast or Scramble with salmon only in menu ), free parking across the road. Clean room but really small, feels like a hostel with double bed and single bed placed in few square metres .breakfast was really tasty, dinner was ok, nothing special, and bit overpriced.

went here with my wife the staff are really nice , so 5 star for them.
The restaurant is a little dated in decor , we sat on a stool not my cup of tea but each to their own.
starter was pate tasted like it was processed being honest.
main course i got fillet steak , asked for medium but came out well well done.... :( i would come back for a lunch menu but will pass on an evening meal bit overpriced and the food wasn't good being honest.
