We are a couple looking for a base to stay on the island for a week. The Steamer exceeded our expectation all round.
Our centre-front sea-view room with large balcony gave the perfect view of the bay. Georgie and the team were perfect hosts throughout. The range of breakfast options includes a large well-presented full English. It's a popular dining pub, and we ate in 2 nights, but generally like to explore different places for dinner. It quietens down after dinner and although our room was above the bar, we had a perfectly quiet time every night.
Not many were staying more than a couple of nights, but we were very happy to stay here for the full week.
One downside is there is no parking - no space as you're straight into the cliff behind the building. However we paid £65 for a Council pass which covered on-street in front of the pub (there was always space - we were there the week before the school hols) and also car parks and on-street across the whole island which we used in various places every day.
