Lovely place for a couple to stay. The rooms had real charm with the period furniture, although the ceiling picture was a bit strange. Huge jacuzzi bath. Lovely breakfast room. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay there again. Just a few minutes walk to the bay where there's lots of places to eat and and interesting walk.

Lovely stay, clean rooms, friendly staff, great location in an amazing building. Loved all the historical features of the coal exchange ! Only disappointment was the availability of breakfast food and drinks. Timing was not great for keeping the food topped up to handle the number of guests. When we did get food it was excellent quality!
