15th century building with the charm & quirks you would expect. Hotel is right on the water and we had a lovely view from our room. Location of hotel was great just a short walk to the high street with lots of shops , bars and restaurants. Also a stones throw away from promenade park. The best thing about our stay was the staff. Kieran, Jess and the team are fabulous they made us feel so welcome and they were super helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was amazing, good choice and quality ingredients. Came as quests and felt like we left as friends, we will be back ! Thanks for a great stay

On arrival staff were very welcoming. We were able to check in a little earlier and shown to our room and given all the info we needed for our stay. Quirky little pub with entrance to our room up a little staircase through the kitchen area. Stairs maybe a little tricky for some as they are quite steep. Our room was pretty basic (which we expected for a b&b and at the price range) but was very clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. We had a lovely view of the Quay too. The bed was comfy and there were coffee and tea facilities in the room. We had the full English in the morning and it was amazing! Really tasty! I think what really made the stay for us was the hospitality we received from the staff. It really made our stay and we would definitely stay again so thank you Fish on the Quay!
