I visited this establishment on 15th April with an intended stay of one night. I was part of a group of six who were visiting to watch Football. On arrival, we were greeted by Haneffe, one of the owners who really couldn’t have been more welcoming. We arrived early, around 9am, however he allowed us to check in early so we got instant access to our rooms. Whilst dropping the bags, he went out of his way to knock up some breakfast for us all. On entering my room, was mega impressed with the modern design but also, how clean the rooms were, immaculate. I was in a twin room, it had everything needed and more. It had a double bed and single bed. Dressing table, ironing board and most of all, fantastic costal view of the sea and harbour. The bathroom was spotless, plenty of crisp white towels and a nice selection of shampoo’s etc. The décor was brill, can tell so much time, effort and expense has gone into this venue which he told us took over two years to renovate. Even the quality of the carpet, you really do feel instantly comfy in this venue. From there, we went downstairs and in to the Bar Area, this is known as Haneffe’s Bar & Grill. Present here was his Haneffe’s lovely wife, Mary. Also present were a few members of staff who was all so friendly, welcoming and great to engage with. All took great pride in the jobs and loved telling us about the history of the Island. We was also provided with fantastic breakfast butties and not long after, we sampled the exemplary selections of drinks. A really classy and comfy restaurant and a fully stock bar with both draft and bottled beers. Great selection of spirits too. Again, in this area, the décor and lighting is fantastic with great views over the sea. To the rear of the bar there is a lounge type area with TV’s displaying sport etc, really compfy and well presented. Not long after, off we went to the football. Returned around midnight, got in with no problems and had a fantastic nights slight in a really comfortable peaceful night’s sleep. The following day, we woke up to the island covered in fog and it was hit and miss whether we’d be able to leave the Island. Given it was an afternoon flight, we lounged around the Haneffe’s bar pending updates. A bit of panic set in when we was told all flights and ferries had been cancelled. Haneffe to the rescue, really couldn’t have been any more reassuring or helpful in allowing us to stay another night. The really did help a stressful situation and is testament to this family business. We all decided to have some lunch, and what a great menu they have. All six of us had different dishes and everyone came out piping hot and without delay. The Roast Dinner is a local favourite here, very very popular amongst the locals and I can see why! I had the burger, it was stunning! Will absolutely stay here again and would recommend to anyone, this place really is setting the standard on the Island. Thanks for looking after us all and hope to se
