My second stay at this hotel (Yachtman) and they always outdo themselves. The rooms are fabulous and super clean. Their cleaning ladies are always helpful and respectful of our privacy, accepting to assist but not enter. The establishment is dog friendly and right on the docks- absolutely fantastic

Liked: Room comfort
Loved the hotel, perfect location and nice room. The hotel has some renovation work going on otherwise I would rate it very highly. Staff are really very nice. There are only two negatives - it is a little bit complicated to park in their car park but ok when you know how, and I would have preferred to have real cups and glasses in the room rather than flimsy paper ones which were too hot to hold to drink the coffee. Located in the harbour, walking distance around the town centre.

We really enjoyed our 4 nights stay. The small pool was a big bonus but it’s all about the view across the marina, location & the excellent staff.

It was fine. The parking is a bit odd. The pool being in a courtyard reduces sun dramatically, but was welcome nonetheless. The room lacke for a few hooks.

Should have been closed whilst renovation hotel.

Thé hôtel will be beautiful once the renovation work has finished. Health and safety we an issue with power tool wires across the main corridor. Building work started at 8 am and went on all day. The lounge and the swimming pool were out of bounds. We managed you use the swimming pool towards the end of the stay, but if was difficult to get out without any steps.The fridge in the room hadn’t been emptied and they was smelly cold fish and chips inside when we arrived. The staff were very helpful in trying to refund us and try to find us another hotel but last minute hotel accommodation not easy to find at short notice. In the end we decided we had no option but to stay. We did receive free breakfasts and complimentary wine to compensate for the inconvenience.

Dejligt hotel med perfekt placering

Lækkert hotel med perfekt placering ved havnen. Masser af hyggelige caféer og restauranter lige uden for døren i de skønne gamle gader. Hotellet er i gang med en renovering, hvilket kunne ses. Det bliver rigtig godt, når det er færdigt. Vi kommer gerne igen.

Belle chambre et bien situé

Chambre confortable et moderne car refaite mais au départ nous avions réservé une suite junior avec balcon et vue sur le port avec confirmation d'hôtel.com puis quelques heures plus tard message de l'hôtel en disant que la réservation avit été forcée par le site et que cette chambre n'était pas disponible donc chambre inférieure. De plus personne ne nous a dit que l'hôtel était en travaux donc pas de bar, vois marchez sur des bâches et dans la poussière! Sinon hôtel sympa et bien situé
