"We stayed at your hotel the weekend of the Round the Island Race and wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our short stay. The location, especially for watching the race start, could not have been better, but more importantly the ambience, friendly service and the lovely food was excellent. We will definitely recommend you to friends and hope to visit again sometime soon. Thank you very much for a lovely weekend."

Rebekah Matloubi - May 2006
"The food last night was superb and generously served, thank you very much indeed, wonderful surroundings, tables not too close, no forced intimacy in the sitting room. The crab was, I think, the best I have ever had. At the risk of being impertinent I don't suppose there is any possibility of asking the chef for the recipe of the dressing on the crab and avocado? It was just fantastic."
Hamish Hay - April 2006
"Just a quick note to say that it was very nice to meet you last night and apologies if I was too talkative / inquisitive etc! I think the atmosphere of your hotel had really taken me by then! (And thank you for pulling the piano out from the wall - I don't know of many (any??) people who would do that for a guest at 9.30 at night!)"
Craig McMillan - March 2006
