Lovely hotel in an excellent location, Saint Marys center and beaches are only a 5 to 10 min walk away. Transfer from the airport 8 mins
Staff are all fantastic and nothing is to much trouble. Evening meals in the hotel are in my opinion the best on the island, and we ate at all the other restaurants.
Brad and Uri deserve a special mention for the extra care and attention they award everyone.

My mum went alone to stay for a night having lost my step dad and so I rang Brad in the restaurant to ask him to leave my mum a glass of something at her table from me to tell her I love her and he was so kind and helpful. I cant begin to express how lovely it was to know my mum was staying in such a fabulous place with the kindest and most helpful people. The world should be full of more Brads!

Great rarebit and rillette to start with ribeye steaks to follow. Good brooklyn Amber on draught and a bottle of chateau neuf du pape. Staff were great, dog friendly and definitely worth a visit. Our host from the Czech Republic was amazing.

Couldn't have cream tea without booking 48 hours in advance. Pretty garden, but it doesn't take that long to bake scones.

Lovely hotel in a great location and staff were excellent, especially the waiter who was from the Czech Republic (sorry we didn't get his name!) who was so friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and bathroom was great as well. Only very small issues; we were in a room at the top of the hotel which was quite hot. There was a fan available so that helped, and luckily the weather wasn't too warm, but if we had stayed the week before during the heatwave we would have struggled and it was still quite hot at night. Also the restaurant was excellent, but the dining room specifically for hotel guests
