Overall a very decent stay with a good bar and restaurant with an excellent breakfast line the morning. The rooms could do with a small freshen up looking a bit tired, but it was very clean and tidy.

Room was excellent.. very clean and great view of the harbour - the entrance - lift and first floor area carpet needs cleaning / replacing as pretty dirty and walls could do with a paint … the staff are fabulous , food excellent and ambience is brilliant ! Breakfast delicious too!
Parking was straightforward. Hotel and the restaurant are in good order. Staff are excellent and well trained. Rooms were clean and tidy. There was everything you could possibly need but the landing area could do with a paint - thats my only negative observation
