Our room was comfortable. It would have been good when checking in to be asked about booking for dinner. What spoilt our stay the most was the excessive noise from the hotel. The music finished at 11pm however patrons were shouting, yelling & screaming around our rooms till 1:20am!

Was a quaint Inn. 1844. Everything you need and plenty of sites within walking distance. Fabulous oysters to be bought at The Wharf. Also prawns. Would have been great to have a microwave but really there wasn’t room for one. Nice staff.

Great Pub, clean & comfy room

Clean and comfortable, but somewhat dated. Check-in was quick & easy. Car parking was a hassle as there are more rooms than car-parks and we didn't arrive until later in the afternoon. Being a Friday night, the Pub was very busy, but we still managed to find a table for 2 in the decked beer-garden area, service and meals were very good.
