Lovely rooms, very well-appointed, and the staff were friendly. The food was very good (shakshuka for breakfast was a highlight - as was the fact it was free for guests!), and they really helped out when I discovered I'd forgotten the dog's kibble... A very pleasant and friendly stay with a good location to watch the ferries.

Clean room, good food especially breakfast, freshly cooked, not kept warm. Plenty of parking, friendly staff. My only criticism in room 1, was the lack of a clear surface to put our items on. The only table had the tea tray covering it. Window sill was above radiator. Butcombe loyalty club is worth signing up to. We hit lucky being there for my birthday, so £20 off our drinks. We were also there on a wednesday, so 25% off food. We would stay again.
