We arrived a little early for check in but Pauline on the front desk told us where we could leave our luggage and booked a table at the restaurant for our dinner and rang us when our room was ready. The room was lovely, with. Kingside bed, lounge area and a balcony overlooking the marina. Peppers is right beside the ferry terminal, so very convenient and the bus stop is right outside the ferry terminal. Our dinner was lovely and the wait staff very attentive. Breakfast was included in our room and there was a great variety of options from fruit, cereal, pastries and hot food. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, sadly it was only one night but we would gladly go back.

Very good but city view really car park view.

We really enjoyed our stay at peppers. It was a convenient location, comfortable, clean, good food, inviting pools and excellent efficient and warm staff. A little disappointed over car park view as we had to keep the blinds down at all times when we were in our rooms as,, people off the ferry could see straight in. Would stay again.
