Location was great, had everything we needed. Rooms were a wee on the small side but it fit the bill for a one night stay

Decent reasonable overnight stay

A decent, cozy, basic cottage to crush before moving on to something else. Serves the purpose and the price is very reasonable.

The TV wasn't working but they managed to sort it for our second night. Accommodation very compact but ok if you are only using it as somewhere to put your head down after a busy day exploring.

Don’t recommend

Receptionist was a very friendly and helpful. Room was very small. No hotel parking so we were able through hotel to pay for street parking.there were gnats on shower ceiling. There was only shower gel and a small hand soap. The best part of stay was there was a tea kettle and plenty of tea. The harbor, shopping and restaurants are approximately 15 minute walk.

This is a very basic budget hotel, only thing that was a challenge was the small staircase getting to the room on the 3rd floor, apart from that nice staff, clean rooms

Frances, 1-night trip

The rooms have no sound isolation at all. We could hear absolutely everything happening in the rooms next to us and the hall. Besides that, basic rooms, clean but old.

Perfect for purpose, friendly receptionist. Clean and comfortable. Could do with black out blinds on sky window and staircase window. Fan was a saviour in the heat.
