such friendly and helpful staff, ideal location and such a dog friendly hotel - we were made to feel extremely welcome, coal fires and comfy chairs provided such a cosy atmosphere in the bar. Food is delicious 👍

Wonderful hotel, food and staff!

Pros: Location, room, food, dog friendly.
Location: Not much to do close by but there was a good walk recommended by the hotel and it is located two minutes drive away from the ferry crossing.
Lovely dog friendly hotel. Our bedroom was small but very clean and comfy. Gastro pub style food served in the restaurant which was amazing. The staff couldn't have been any nicer and more helpful. Can't wait to return!
