Fantastic Stay!!!

comfortable bed tasty breakfast harbour view

The room had a kettle for making tea, coffee, or hot chocolate, along with biscuits. The bed was comfortable! A tasty cooked breakfast was served in my room, right at the window table. I had a clear view of the harbour and St Michael's Mount! Breakfast included cereal, orange juice, yogurt, and milk from the in-room fridge.

The pillows were a little flat for my liking.
