"I stayed 2 nights on my own in a harbour view room. The room and bathroom were clean and quiet, the bed and pillows comfortable. This room would be a little cramped for 2 people. The location is great. I ate dinner in the restaurant which was reasonably priced but not so ambient, the staff were friendly and predominantly helpful. I would stay here again."

"Bathroom walls and door frames could do with a hood clean but otherwise room was perfectly adequate and spacious. Ate in the downstairs area by the bar and food was very good and service great. We had the lamb and pork which were both cooked exactly as requested. Check out this morning we had the Duty Manager who was very unfriendly (Sun 13 Sept 2026). He actually didn’t even speak or ask how our stay was. Disappointing."
