Lovely and well priced hotel in an expensive part of the world

We booked a 2 night stay, with our daughter in order to be at a close friend's funeral service and wake. The hotel is ideally located to appreciate the view across the water, and to watch the comings and goings in the bay. The staff were really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The public areas and therooms are lovely and clean. Parts of the hotel are ready for being refurbishment (which is about to take place) but it would be a shame if the whole project loses all of the period atmosphere of the present building. The bar was comfortable and the barman (owner/manager??) was very personable and amusing. In fact, all of the staff made us feel really welcome and were encouraging us to return after the refurbishment has been completed.

Barman was very good, but shut to early,lovely views from bedroom balcony.

Incredible room, incredible view. Lovely breakfast.

Service was friendly enough but what ever you do don't ask for an early breakfast. I was booked on a fishing trip at 8am so I asked both the night before and the next morning if I could maybe get a sausage bap or something to take away. The answer I kept getting back was, No, breakfast isn't served until 8am. I waited until 8am and the breakfast still wasn't out. The lack of even any effort to at least get me something was remarkable even though I'd paid £8 for breakfast. They really let themselves down on that front.
