In general, a nice hotel with accommodating staff. Convenient shops around and a takeaway should you get hungry in the middle of the night. Parking not free but charges not bad. £10 overnight then it would be pricey if stayed a couple of days more.

Almost Stars

Lovely hotel. Room basic but clean. Shower was very nice. Parking was good but itbwas a sunday night. Spent time in the bar area sunday evening service was friendly and helpful BUT one gripe is that they could not provide any non alcoholic wine cider or lager. i was stuck with fizzy drinks and soft drinks. The barman allowed me to bring a glass of my own non alcoholic wine and said it was something he would raise with his manager. Some choose not to drink alcohol othwrs like myself am undergoing medical treatment and eas looking for some of nomaity whilst on a break with my wonderful sister...a regular to your hotel. i would not have minded even to pay an almost normal price for a glass of non alcoholicwjust would have been special tonfeel i was "having a celebratory drink"...it could prove to be quite an attraction as too many places dont cater for those of us that would like a non alcoholic wine cider or beer. This would have been a full 5stars other than this hicup. Great hotel and great staff. Until next time. Thank you

Ideal for stop over stay.

A good stop over venue. Basic room but reflected in price. Free no hassle wifi - clean bathroom and comfortable bed. Good location on outskirts of city if driving from ferries.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service

Overall the staff were helpful and friendly, the food is very good although beaware of the sneaky service charges. Thre is hardly any parking, really not good enough for a hotel. The rooms are dated and the tvs are old and failimg with the leds and the air con is non existant. But the beds are very comfy and when all the doors stop banging and the shouting stops in the courtyard it is very quiet.
