A lovely small hotel with a touch of Edwardian glamour

Liked:Great situation, the building and decor had lots of character, the staff were exceptionally good and helpful and the French toast at breakfast was the best we’ve had! Unfortunately we couldn’t secure a sea view room, but that would be the preferred option.

Disliked:Bathroom could do with a bit of a revamp.

Lovely overnight stay at Sonnekus.

Liked:The location is so beautiful and central. The view is unbelievable and the hotel is authentic and interesting. We needed an overnight stay and it was perfect for that. Breakfast the next morning was delicious.

Disliked:We are light sleepers and some of the rooms were a bit noisy. The facilities are older but not bad. You need to just be ok with that.
