Basic room but the twin beds were very narrow and quite uncomfortable.Neither of us could fall asleep in them so we headed for home at 4am.Parking at rear of hotel is by meter and we had to drive round in a circuit for half an hour before we found a space.You can only book 2hr maximum so I had to keep running back every 2hrs to top up the meter....not much fun.

Catherine Mary, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I've stayed here before and knew it was an older property but very close to train and ferry. The room was a bit dated but clean and big, only thing missing would be a small fridge. I slept like a log. Breakfast was plentiful and I ate here both nights. Bar food was very good and very reasonably priced. Biggest asset is the staff - every one I dealt with was very friendly and helpful. I must mention the showergel. All the way home was wondering who smelt so nice and realised it was me and the hotel showergel.
Fiona, 2-night trip

Lovely old style place with lots of character and helpful and friendly staff. Room was very comfortable with a fabulous shower!

Our stay was most enjoyable, the staff were very helpful. Our room was spacious and clean but would have benefitted a second chair.

Mark, 1-night trip

I absolutely loved staying here! Built in 1895, this hotel has history and character. It's fun to imagine what it was like 100 years ago.

10/10 Exceptional

Nice classic hotel

Spent a couple of nights here as a base while traveling to the isles. Very convenient location for the train and ferries, friendly and helpful staff, nice breakfast. There are a few signs of wear as you'd expect with an older building but it was kept nice and clean.
Dale, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Being a few minutes walk from the ferry terminal and train station make it ideal for an early start or late arrival. The buffet breakfast was freshly cooked and topped up regularly, only thing I would say is they need a toast making machine rather than a staff member rushing around delivering luke warm tost to tables.
