fantastic stay!
central locationlarge roomflexible check-out
The location was central, close to the harbour and high street. I appreciated the large room for my family. Check-out was flexible, and the reception team provided parking instructions in advance. This was very useful. I could not hear any noise from the pub below, despite it being busy. This helped me sleep well.
The continental breakfast selection was somewhat limited. It could benefit from additional options.

The room was spacious and clean. I found it very comfortable. The shower had good water pressure, and the bed was quite comfortable. Blackout curtains kept the room dark at night.

Excellent stay at this Hotel
friendly staffcomfortable bedtasty food
We only stayed for two nights, but the team proved excellent. ALL staff were friendly. I found the hotel VERY close to the quay. We parked in the visitor car park and had no issues. The bed was very comfortable. I also found the food tasty.
The continental selection at breakfast was sparse. I saw only a few odd strawberries and blueberries with some yogurt.
