    Right on the harbour in the middle of restaurants & shops, yet room was totally quiet. The staff were so friendly & helpful. Breakfast in the hotel was much cheaper than eating out

    Room was lovely. Clean, tidy and quiet because of the 2 double-glazed windows. View of port was slightly obscured by the trees but it was still lovely to look and watch the world go by below. There is no lift so if stairs are a problem then this...

    Excellent location literally looking into the port in the restaurant area but the room was so quiet you could not hear anything. The receptionist was delightful and the room clean and tidy. Simple but smart place to stay.

    The staff were really helpful and friendly. The location was excellent, and even though it's right on the front, there was no noise through the windows

    Lovely small hotel in great location near the old port and restaurants. Parking short distance from hotel. Very pleasant owner who was helpful. Breakfast was traditional French style but at an exceptional price with good coffee.
