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 was to have made an error. bar and lounge were supposed to be open, but they were closed, not good.

The hotel served breakfast one day in a buffet style. It has cheap sausage, so consider that if you prefer better quality. The hotel provides a fan in the wardrobe.

Comfortable stay near the harbour

spacious bedroom great water pressure

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.

Location

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.
