The room was nice with a lovely view of the harbour but the bathroom is in need of a refurbishment. Although it was clean the wallpaper was coming off the wall, the plaster above the shower was flaking off and the shower tray was rusty. The staff were very friendly and always willing to help. My only gripe is when the bar staff pet peoples dog that they wash their hands before serving food and drinks. The bar area was very festive and the food was lovely. I do think the restaurant was also in need of a facelift. The hotel is in an excellent position right on the harbour and there is payable parking directly opposite. I did read that the hotel is due for refurbishment in 2026 and if this is the case I would definitely chose to stay her again.

We stayed in a lovely room above the pub overlooking the harbour. The room was spacious and we liked being right in the heart of the town. It can be noisy though with music from nearby pubs so expect that to go on until 11ish. The staff are all very helpful and the pub itself is lovely. Parking is tricky, we were lucky to find a spot nearby but we did have to pay.

Room was amazing (rm14) and we would request again. Housekeeping and reception staff were very pleasant and friendly. However the breakfast service could be improved as 4 guests were served before us on first day and we had to ask to be served. On our second day we weren’t even asked for our breakfast order.
