A lovely hotel which has been looked after very well. A lot of character, exactly as expected. Loved it's position by the water, close to restaurants and bus service to everywhere. The restaurant in the hotel is lovely.

“A lovely stay”
A lovely, comfortable and characterful hotel with an interesting history in a great location. All the staff that we encountered were pleasant, friendly and helpful. The restaurant and bar where we enjoyed breakfast & dinner were comfortable & had great views of the bay. Our room was clean & comfortable as was the large room used by our Son's family - their young children and their dog were also made welcome. All in all, an enjoyable stay!

We had a lovely stay. The restaurant was great and we really enjoyed the live music. The location is fantastic, and having on-site parking made things very easy. We also loved the old-style key for our room — such a charming touch — and the convenience of leaving it with reception while we were out.

The team was very friendly and helpful. We booked 2 stays, arrived early for both, and were able to access our room before check-in. The staff also stored some luggage for us when we were between stays.
