The service is amazing, they're all so friendly. The kitchen is excellent and there are often events in the hotel going on. On my arrival they had live music by local bands. Felt home in the area immediately. Don't be fooled by the 2-star rating, it's a simple facility but with everything else, they're a 4-star for me!

Its little cosy hotel. Very convenient for the ferry terminal. One thing I would suggest is to fix the shower temperature as it was not possible to get it right. It was either too hor or cold.

We enjoyed our stay at the Boathouse. It has a wonderful location, perfect for exploring both the town and the Anglesea path, with it's wonderful trail to North and South Stack as well as the historical area where the quarry used to be, not to mention the long breakwater. The breakfast in the morning was very good. I would recommend staying here.

A beautiful spot

Great position. Very helpful and friendly staff. Great food. The room was spacious but the beds were painfully soft and the shower was an anemic, cold dribble.

Used it as an overnight before the ferry, staff were great, food was good. The mattress in room 22 however was stuffed, should have been replaced quite a while ago. Staying there again after Ireland so will see what the bed is like in a different room if we get one.

Property location was in a nice area with a good lookout point. Room was alright size with very big bathroom. However bed was uncomfortable, had some mould around the room and the room had an unpleasant stale smell about it. Overall for the price the hotel was okay, but don’t expect anything fantastic.
