Wonderful stay in wonderful accomodation provided

The room had a lovely view over the marina and was well looked after. The continental breakfast was well stocked and the stay at our accomodation was really relaxing made even easier by the owners who looked after us who were very friendly snd welcoming. If you're disabled also this hotel is greatceith a lift to all floors enabling wheelchair access Only problem is no diabled ramp but rails attached to help access.

Great Hospitality and Warm Welcome

Julie gave a warm welcome and very accommodating. Wanted to support a local independent hotel, not a chain. This therefore had a homely feel with extra touches. Thank you Julie for your hospitality and will definitely return.

Wonderful hotel

We enjoyed our stay here. We had a superior double room with beautiful views of the marina. The room was large and clean, the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was a good size and had a tub/shower combination. Breakfast was good. Service was very helpful and friendly. We stayed over a Sunday night. The noise from the bar area kept us awake until it settled down.

Comfy stay, good location, friendly staff, free parking out front. Cute old place, old style maintained with modern comforts added. The WC had a few random sounds but was clean and not all of the window blinds stayed closed which would be worth fixing to block out street lights on front of building. A strong smell of cigarette smell upon entering building, unfortunately for those allergic/bothered, which I hope was a one-off. Otherwise staff was extremely nice, friendly, and attentive. Slept well. I'd stay here again.

No frills, but clean and friendly.

A disappointing start, as room wasn't ready at 2pm check-in, although it was by 2.15pm. We were also advised of a fault with the lift, which was waiting repair, this was carried out around 9ish our first evening. The room was clean, although the ensuite was rudimentary and clearly adapted for wheelchair access (we didn't ask for this facility). A locked connecting door with another room meant we could clearly hear the conversations of other guests. The electric shower was temperamental and didn't retain it's heat or flow. We did report this on the first morning, and it was checked, however, the problem continued throughout our stay. The wall mounted TV was too high and there was no seating (apart from the bed) in the room. A single chair was brought to our room. Continental breakfast was good - fresh fruit and qood quality yoghurts.
