I would have loved to stay here two nights. The hotel is right on the bay - beautiful. We stopped at a local pub and had a tradition fish & chips dinner. Breakfast was wonderful. We didn't have time for the fort - I would stay two nights next time!!

Our room was the nicest of all the places we have stayed on this trip. At some point Expedia emailed me asking if we wanted an upgrade for a small increase in price .... I'm glad we said yes.
