Staff amazing very cheery and welcoming car park slopes a lot so does my room floor particularly the bathroom only to be expected in an older building surroundings outwith car park very overgrown doesn’t look good but all in all very enjoyable stay
The hotel and staff were excellent they did their very best. However it is GROSSLY understaffed. and it shows. I felt particularly the resteraunt service was very slow just because it was understaffed. They did there best but were stretched. Tea & coffee were served in identicle pots and the crosover flavours were obvious
Staff where very helpfull and freindly and nothing was a bother to them 5 stars from me😍😊

Unfortunately we had no hot water in the shower. The TV was not working properly and the windows were jammed shut. A member of staff pleasantly tried to sort the hot water issue but we only achieved a warm temperature.
Maybe we got off to a bad start seeing all the signs instructing us to pay for car parking on arrival. This is not welcoming.

Have to pay to park.
Really annoyed that you have to pay for parking in the hotels own car park. The staff are good but there are not enough of them.

Staff friendly and helpful tho woefully undermanned, every staff member seemed to have 2 or 3 jobs.they were excellent despite the pressure.
Booked unto a"superior" double room ,it certainly was not.
The room we were moved to was lovley a great improvement.
One thing that stuck in my throat the new parking policy: to pay almost£150 a night and then to b charged to park at the hotel is quite frankly digusting, especially as it is subject to dynamic pricing.
I would b reluctant to stay here again solely because of this issue
Understaffed, slow service , Olivia seemed to be doing everything , she was excellent
and made the rating good instead of poor.

Seaside hotel
Lovely setting on the water. Must pay for parking; our room is basic and could use bedside electric outlets. The toilet seat is broken and slides around. The place could use a bit of updating.
Fabulous location, good food, nice staff.
Bedroom door had terrible squeak, saw the handyman and he said he would fix it, but didn’t! In the morning took a long time to check out as the computer would not upload, it was 9.30! Parking £6.50 a night, not stated on the booking🙄

Faded glory
We received a warm welcome from the person on reception. It was also very hot inside because all the radiators were on full blast in May. The hotel is impressive but showing signs of age with creaking floorboards and flaking paint. Breakfast was fine and the staff were nice. Parking is not free for guests but plenty of free spaces in town.
Great place for taking your dog lots of walks nearby. Even a separate dinning room that you can take your pet into when at breakfast. Great views over the harbour.The only downside would be the evening dinner menu could be a bit more exciting and maybe a specials choice so as not the same menu each night.
Beautiful property very friendly and helpful staff lovely breakfast great parking over exceeded my expectations and had a beautiful pictuise scenery and view and very easy to find
Absolutely stunning location and views across the harbour. A wonderfully peaceful and relaxing holiday break. Staff excellent and responsive and smiling too!!! Such a happy atmosphere. Could not have asked for more. Not expensive either. Just the bees knees.
