Great location.
Rooms neat and tidy. Extra power points needed near the tv.

I was put in a room which was not in the hotel, but down the driveway, out the back. There were broken blinds, so people could see in from the driveway. There was a hole in the bedroom door which someone had done a shoddy job of trying to putty up. There was a dent in the bedroom wall. The headboard was not attached properly and the bed was uncomfortable. The bathroom was not clean. I just felt dirty being there and did not enjoy my stay. It does not meet my definition of a boutique hotel.

Room was comfortable, warm & clean. The honour system for drinks downstairs was a lovely idea, of which we took advantage! Seating area was inviting.
Stairs to upstairs rooms very steep.
Would definitely stay again.

Good place, on the beach.
The room is cute with everything you need.
I’ve had better places design and cleaning wise.
On the beach, close free parking and very close supermarket.
The receptionist was lovely, there isn’t someone in the reception all the time

Location couldn’t have been more central. In checking in, Phil was super friendly & knowledgeable. Hotel and rooms were all very clean and comfortable. The door locks were very modern and felt safe & secure. There was even fruit, small selection of drinks and coffee included. We will definitely stay again if returning to Penguin in the future.

The stairs were a little daunting with suitcases. The room was lovely but in need of a makeover. Downstairs entry and foyer area were very nice, we enjoyed the complimentary port and sherry.
