Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was spacious but not cleaned well. There were empty sugar packets on the floor next to the bedside table, socks under the sofa in the room also, just a feeling of lack of cleanliness in the room. The one staff member we came across was friendly. We didn’t eat here so cannot comment on the food. We were on the 3rd floor, my mum always likes to know the fire escape route when she’s in a new place, leaflet in room stated to check door for map and exits - this was non existent.

Unfortunately the toilet did not flush , no staff available to report too until we checked out in the morning. They did say they would check it however, it was rather inconvenient . There is no bar available in the hotel . Great location - shame about the overall condition and lack of maintenance

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Whilst we were given an early check in our room was far from clean. Hairs in the sink and toilet. Cobwebs on the walls. Windows were mouldy and looked out onto waste ground. Rooms either side of us through the night were incredibly loud, several calls made to reception but no answer so staff did nothing to resolve this.

Lovely staff

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was fine for what we needed. We had dogs with us. We had dinner in the bar, it was ok. But we decided not to stay for breakfast. Great for getting the ferry. The hotel is old and needs a lot of money to spend on it but the owners are trying. We would stay again as it’s affordable and very friendly.
