+ Perfect if you’re taking the ferry and need a place to sleep overnight. If you do have a dog it’s important to know and respect their policy but I found the local shops were ok with me taking my dog with me as long as you ask so this was not a problem. Mandy was a very lovely lady from East London. There’s a lovely park opposite from the property where you can see the sea and walk along the coast.

- The stairs are very narrow and steep so it was a challenge to get my luggage and dog up and down the steps. I don’t think there’s anything the property can do about this but this is something to keep in mind if you had more heavier luggage with you or mobility issues.

+ We forgot to book breakfast. The front door could be a bit noisy when people arrived and left mainly due to people not holding the handle apart from that we had a wonderful time

Safe entrance and a lovely sitting room available with crunches and tv, with fridge, microwave and tooster and tables, plates and cutlery to serve your own meal. Facilities in the room everything clean, tv, comfortable bed, bathroom station with shower and hot water and toiletries . Parking lot is just across the street in front of hotel. Was a great stop and good rest before a long journey ahead.

Luxury Triple Room Luxury Triple Room 4 months ago solo traveller
+ Friendly and helpful staff, comfortable and clean, large shared area with plenty room for eating or relaxing, not that the room we were in was small, quite large infact, situated in the high street next to a park 30 seconds from the sea, no need to walk far for anything, would stay there again. It was better than website portrayed it.
− My only negative was it was quite warm inside, but it was high temperature outside also, it was only one night we stayed during hot weather, therefore it is only to be expected,
