Comfortable stay, albeit pricey.

Room was clean and adequate for a short stay but relatively expensive for facilities provided. Nice crisp linen, but beds felt old. Some noise from nearby rooms and ones above. Towel rail in bathroom was rusty.The TV needs a swivel arm so that it can be watched from the seating area and there needs to be a small table by the soft chairs for drinks etc. The breakfast was excellent with a large choice.

Let down on arranged breakfast

Lovely place, nice location, very friendly staff. We had an early ferry and were offered a breakfast to go, unfortunately no staff was at the desk despite ringing the bell and waiting 15 minutes, so no breakfast, not nice.

Friendly and helpful staff. Food was excellent. Lots of choice for breakfast. Recommend surf and turf for evening meal. We stayed in single rooms which had everything we needed and were clean and priced competitively. Hotel is situated directly in front of the bay.
