Its little cosy hotel. Very convenient for the ferry terminal. One thing I would suggest is to fix the shower temperature as it was not possible to get it right. It was either too hor or cold.

Extremely friendly, comfortable, and dog friendly. The food in the bar was properly home cooked and obviously not from a packet. While it's a bit of a walk to the docks, the hotel is right next to the Breakwater country park, allowing for scenic walks or runs.

It was very run down! We ordered breakfast at 7:15 arrived downstairs for the reception area to be dark unopened for business and then left at 7:30am without having breakfast! Nice friendly staff, but the decor and musty smell let the place down. There is a huge potential for the property!

Don’t stay here … at least not until they get it fixed up. The place is in major need of a remodel. No wifi no cable tv. Our toilet was so close to the sink you had to sit sideways. The shower hot water didn’t work in the AM. Worst was that the power went out at 12:30a and was out all night … as there was no one at the front desk to notify about the problem.

When I arrived, I was greeted by two dogs, best welcoming committee ever. Abby was very helpful at the front desk, and she walked me and showed me to my room. A service from the past. I walk to a beautiful view of the harbor.

The outside of the property needed a good tidy up of the hedges and patio areas, ther were stea cats catching a leaving dead tats in the patio area, our room had no heating or hot water so we had to move to another room. The decor inside was dated and requires a good facelift, the staff, whilst helpful were untidy and you could not identify them. On staff member ha NO knowledge of Gluten Free dietary requirements, and she was cooking my breakfast, the food overall was of a good standard and I would eat my evening meals there again. The second room we had was well maintained and had a good view of the harbour and breakwater, there are good parking facilities (free) and the management are trying their best under very trying circumstances, so although this seems like a poor review, it is not as bad as some places. So please stay and enjoy the area, the hotel can only get better if people use it and support it.

Look ill keep it fairly honest and short. When we walked into our room, it reeked of dampness, all locks or window stays were damaged or rusted out so you couldn't control ventilation/ open a bathroom window to get rid of the strong smell of bleach.I pulled back the fitted sheet to see the state of the mattress, and let's just say that's the reason I slept fully clothed and on top of all the bedding. This place is good for budget travelers or those who need to lay their head before catching the ferry the next morning, its not somewhere id stay for a holiday. We stayed here in September 23
