Rock Point Inn Reviews Summary

Location

Pros:

• "Great views in a central location."

• "It has been fully renovated and now sits in an impressive position at the bottom of Broad Street with views out to sea."

Cons:

• "Rooms get very hot and stuffy if the weather is over 18-20 degrees and a fair amount of noise early in the morning due to the location right in the town centre."
• "The huge wooden plant boxes are obstructive for the view - is it necessary to hide this beautiful panorama this way?"
