Delicious Bar Meals

“I had the pleasure of trying the bar meals during my stay, and I can confidently say they were fabulous. The Cullen Skink was the best I’ve ever had—so rich and flavorful, a must-try if you're a fan of smoked fish! I also enjoyed the BBQ chicken strips, which were bursting with flavor, especially when paired with the delicious pepper mayonnaise. The menu offered generous portions and great value for money.” view full review

The hotel is ideally located in the heart of town with a view, featuring recently decorated bedrooms and thick curtains to block out early midsummer sunrises. The service provided by the reception staff was exceptional, although dry cleaning and laundry services were not available. The dining experience included fresh local fish, but unfortunately, the restaurant was closed on Sundays. The facilities were above average, with some room for improvement in certain areas.
