the location was excellent, providing access to a wonderfully natural location in the scilly isles.
The room had a nasty smell (i suspect from previous dog occupants). the linen definitely needed replacing. One bath sheet actually had holes in it. the hotel overall is definitely in need of a revamp. It all looks rather tired for the money i paid.
