Bigger mugs but lovely hotel.
Lovely location and a great hotel. We parked nearby on the road although there is a small car park around the back. Bigger mugs for the rooms would be nice though. We didn’t eat as the kitchen was closed on Sunday but would love to come back to try the food.

25th Anniversary Party Stay
Lovely hotel and staff, the room was nice too. We stayed as an an anniversary party in the venue attached. Breakfast was lovely. Only criticism would be that the rooms were quite warm.

The night before the Ferry
When we arrived the reception person was very nice. We had a bit of trouble finding the car park. We had food in the pub which was very good, It was a bit noisy out side, we were on a main road at a set of lights and it was also Bike night at the shore front

Great for what we paid
For the price we paid it was good accomodation. The room would be better if it was painted a lighter colour as it seems to dark. Loved the restsurant downstairs.

Very nice and well appointed little hotel. Didn’t have breakfast as the timing didn’t work for me but it’s 7:30-9:30 weekdays and 8:00-10:00 at weekends. Comfy beds, good shower. Friendly reception.

Comfortable but attention needed
Room was comfortable, bathroom was well appointed, always nice to see an extra effort made there. Improvements could be made with regards to the bed, carpets, furniture etc as beginning to look a bit worn. Breakfast was very good.

Lovely little find
The hotel has a lovely vibe about it. We booked a table and the foid was amazing, generous portion sizes and full of flavour. The room was clean and warm, slightly small but plenty big enough for us. The car park is very small so could be a problem at times. Staff very helpful and we would definitely stay again.

Good value for money.
Our standard room was clean and well equipped. It did have a fan but no airconditioning. Tried to leave the window open but the noise from an extractor fan unit outside below our window was noisy.
