Great boutique hotel.

The staff were really friendly, the bar area and bedroom were beautifully decorated and the hotel had a lovely feel about it. The bed was super comfortable, and the breakfast was an added bonus. Would definitely stay again.

This is a very well renovated B&B with nice amenities like a smart TV, kettle for tea and coffee, and a super comfortable bed. The entrance to the hotel and rooms is controlled by an electronic code. There is a modest continental breakfast on offer with the option for boiled eggs and a sausage or bacon sandwich. The waterfront is a short walk away and the historic dockyards are about a 20-minute walk. The room was quiet and had a chiller fan. You could also open the windows for fresh air. We arrived a few hours before check in, and because there was no staff on site until 3pm, we had to keep our luggage with us.

Indifferent check in no communication from manager re arrival etc. Next morning after a good breakfast when we tried to leave we were locked into the property and could not get out - A non English speaking domestic had to let us out through the kitchen and we had to walk around the block with our luggage to our car!!!

Wonderfully polite and helpful staff, the ladies providing the breakfast were lovely and the rooms were kept to a high standard. The room was slightly chilly. It soon warmed up when the heating kicked in. The access codes for doors instead of keys was great.

We had a deluxe room which was clean and spacious. Facilities in the room were very good and included a good size wardrobe, full length mirror, toiletries and kettle with tea, coffee and biscuits. Quiet location. There is a bus stop right outside the premises and is within walking distance of a retail outlet. Helpful staff.

Great B&B overall. Parking was easy even though on street, there was plenty of space close by. Breakfast was simple but perfectly done, just right in honesty, all great quality stuff. 15 minutes walk to the shops etc, and some restaurants very close by too. The only downside was the mattress which had huge depressions in it, so felt like sleeping on a hill. I’d stay again but try a different room for the bed.

Spontaneous getaway

Such a wonderful little hotel in an ideal location. 5 minute walk from the pier and arcades, 15 minutes or so to both shopping centres ( Gunwharf/cascades ) with the theatre being even closer if that is included in your poa for your time away! Lovely clean rooms, quite a personal experience with only me and my wife with the owner at breakfast but we liked it that way. Would recommend to anyone and will be back soon! Also lovely bar and atmosphere for drinks in the evening.

Seaside B&B

Decent B&B suitable for a short stay. My room was small but comfortable, with a wet room that although small and a bit awkward, worked perfectly fine. Nice breakfast offered in the morning, and easy check in/out. I would have loved a hair dryer in the room though!
