Great location on the harbour. All the staff we met were very helpful and friendly. Room was comfortable and clean. Limited parking which is chargeable if not booking direct. 15 minute walk to town centre. We didn’t use the restaurant but looked nice with locally sourced goods.

The interiors are well thought out, decorated with quality and often unusual items. I especially loved the Lloyd loom dressing table chair on castors, presumably once an office chair. Really comfortable bed and chairs in the room, lovely toiletries, good tea, coffee and biscuits selection. We were very lucky to have a marina facing room with a little balcony. We had a couple of drinks on room service, all very prompt. The bar area was a lovely area to relax in the evening and the restaurant was busy, bustling and cosy. We didn’t have dinner but did have a lovely breakfast. The staff are fabulous. Discreet, efficient and friendly. Couldn’t fault the service here, some of the best I’ve experienced. We would definitely stay again.

The hotel is right by the harbour with a pretty view. The street in front is one way and not a thoroughfare, so was quiet. The hotel is a few minutes walk to the centre of town, and there are many pubs and restaurants close by. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful.

Forgotten Diners

Service for dinner was poor. We were served our mains course but once finished the dirty plates were left on the table for an hour and it was only then we were asked if we wanted a dessert.
