    Car parking, clean and practical room, satisfactory restaurant on site, close to ferry port, fine for an overnight stay, good choice for breakfast.
  • Christine

    We've just booked our third stay this year at the hotel. The hotel meets all our requirements and the location is great for us as it's near to family and also near to the bus and train stations as, although we drive down, we tend to use public...

    Decoration throughout was excellent with everything spotless. Breakfast was good apart from no fried eggs only scrambled. Bed was comfy but i should have booked an king size rather than a double as me and the Mrs are not the smallest.
