Decent hotel. Staff and food were excellent. Room was a bit dated and no air con or fan was a downer. Bathroom looked newly renovated and was very good. You could hear other guests televisions through the wall as the rooms are not sound proof. Agree with the 3 star rating, decent hotel but could be better.

We were in a room in the coach house which is separate to the main hotel. Suited us as it was quiet and we could park the car very close. The room was a little dated but comfortable. Didn't use the spa. Breakfast was ok. Lunch and dinner were good value and the food was nice. Located about a 30 minute walk from the docks

Good hotel but could do with a bit of updating

Good hotel but needs a bit of updating and the breakfast was average but overall not a bad place to stay. Annoyingly though have not been able to get a Vat receipt as hotel say it has to come from ebookers who have not responded!
