Cleanliness

Guests consistently noted the property's cleanliness, with several reviews mentioning it was very clean and well-maintained. The high standard of cleanliness contributed positively to their overall experience.

Location

The location is highly praised for its stunning views over the harbour and proximity to local attractions. Some guests mentioned the challenge of the steps and potential parking issues, but the views and convenience largely outweighed these concerns.

Comfort

The property is described as comfortable and homely, with high-quality fixtures and fittings. However, a few guests noted that seating was limited for larger groups, which slightly impacted the comfort score.

Thoughtfulness

Many reviews mentioned the thoughtful extras provided, such as Welsh cakes, milk, and fuel for the fire. While these gifts are warmly received, it's important to note that such personal touches, although delightful, are not guaranteed with every stay.
