Reviews and Ratings
The Rose Cottage was a mixed experience for me. While the staff member who helped with our luggage was lovely, the room lacked a safe, had no air conditioning during hot weather, was small, and the WiFi didn't work inside. On the bright side, the room was very clean and spacious.
The hotel offers stunning views right by the sea, providing a unique and relaxing experience. The large rooms exceed expectations, offering a range of complimentary amenities. The service is friendly and accommodating, with special vegan dishes prepared. The dining experience is exceptional with locally sourced ingredients, but limited options were noted. A peaceful and secluded location perfect for a restful getaway.
Staying in Cove Cottage down the very steep hill was an absolute pleasure, offering a beautiful location and amazing service. The rooms were comfortable, although some minor improvements could be made. Dining was superb and filling, ensuring a worry-free lunch, and the facilities were top-notch.
