early kitchen closure poor accommodation
I wanted a quick lunch. The cafe closes at 3pm Saturdays. I arrived at 2:05pm, they said the kitchen was closed at 2pm. This seemed early, kitchens usually close 30 minutes before closing, not a full hour.

decent experience

clean room great breakfast lovely views early closure kitchen timing unaccommodating staff
the room, a double room, was clean. the breakfast had several choices and was nice. the location had also great views of the bay, it was lovely.
i tried to have lunch one day at 2.05pm. the opening hours indicated the cafe closes at 3pm every saturday. i was turned away because the kitchen closed earlier at 2pm. this was annoying.
