the staff was nice. the location is great.
The room's wallpaper was peeling, and it smelled of sewage. the receptionist seemed bothered when i asked about a parking calculation. She looked to have made an error. bar and lounge were supposed to be open, but they were closed, not good.

Comfortable stay near the harbour

spacious bedroomgreat water pressuresmall television
I appreciated the spacious and clean bedroom. It. the large shower also had great water pressure, this was a very welcome feature. i enjoyed the evening meal with three courses included, it was a delicious and satisfying dining experience.
The television in the room was quite small and its functionality was intermittent. This was a bit disappointing. it would be great to have a larger, more reliable tv for entertainment.

the location is convenient, with the harbour and high street just a short walk away. this allows easy access to local attractions and dining options. it made getting around very easy.
