lovely staff helpful staff comfy bed fresh towels real ale disappointing breakfast pre-sliced bread
The staff were lovely and helpful. My room was perfect for me traveling alone. The bed was comfy. I had fresh towels every day.
The real ale was off. Breakfast was disappointing. The continental breakfast had pre-sliced bread for toast and cold hard boiled eggs.

historic charm with convenient parking
early breakfast easy parking convenient location
the staff provided early breakfast. it was a very good one. easy parking was available. the location is close to the port.
i found the bathroom extractor fan was not working. the shower head pointed vertically. a shower mat was not provided for the bath. this was dangerous as the bath was slippy.

weak shower loud street
The shower in my room was a real letdown. It barely sprinkled water this). also, the noise from the street at night was pretty bad. even with the windows closed, i could hear cars and people talking loudly. This made it difficult to sleep. (i'm usually not a light sleeper!).
