A very comfortable stay indeed. The new owners seem to have thought of everything. The room was very comfortable, in excellent condition, spotlessly clean and fully equipped. A simple continental breakfast is included. Located right on the front of the marina and a very pleasant bistro is next door.
Very helpful and friendly staff.
Highly recommended.
Upgraded our room on arrival and was very helpful for our early departure with an early breakfast Great view and friendly helpful staff. Highly recommend
Very clean, comfortable room right beside the harbour. Quiet area- nice to have dinner (from the Anchor Inn) on the patio

The hotel room was of a very good standard considering the price. The staff numbers were very limited but adequate and very knowledgeable and accommodating.
