8/10 Very good

Room was clean and had a nice view of the courtyard. The hotel is on the waterfront and has great views form the front parlour/reception and bar. Good wines at reasonable prices. John the host is informative, friendly and obliging. Room is cozy ie a bit small. A "squash and a squeeze" but itcall worked. The coffee pod worked well. Bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay.
Courtyard was great.
The view from the front.
