acceptable but overpriced stay

off-road parkingsoft bedsdirty shower screen
the off-road parking provided a practical solution in the area.
the cost of nearly £300 for a single night felt excessive. the beds were uncomfortably soft and did not provide adequate support. the shower screen in the bathroom required thorough cleaning and maintenance.

excellent locationfriendly ownerbig roomsmall bathroomunclean shower screenone night
The location was excellent for travel, especially since i had an early train. Michael was very friendly. The room was big (i think it could have slept four).
The bathroom was quite small. It was okay though since my stay was just for one night. i also noticed the shower screen needed cleaning (a minor issue).

The host was very cute and helpful, this I appreciated. Free parking at the hotel was useful. The walk to the harbour was a reasonable distance.

Charming Stay with a Superb Host

excellent locationspacious roomkind host
The location proved excellent, only a short walk to many local places. The room provided generous space and cleanliness, a bonus after a long journey. I appreciated the owner Mike. He offered so much kindness. He suggested a great cafe nearby (really lovely!).
The bathroom was a little small, but it was perfectly adequate for my short stay.
