Good little single room. Comfortable. Would have enjoy an easy chair.
Excellent area. Good staff. Great breakfast, even if there were no kippers this morning!
Very nice hotel and restaurant. One of the few places to get something other than fish and chips or take-away. Couldn’t beat the location.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Very noisy in the old building in the back. While rooms have been updated nicely, the insulation in the walls and ceiling certainly was not. Whenever anyone walks around, the building creaks and groans like an old schooner in a storm. You can hear conversations and TVs in the adjacent rooms and above. We were treated to the BBC news until 1:30am and it started again at 6am. Breakfast was good as most reviews say. Otherwise, I am very surprised that more reviews don’t mention how noisy it is. Good from far, far from good.
