I enjoyed my stay but as I'm disabled the access avoiding the steps at the entrance was not obvious but was relatively easy but only revealed at first chat at reception (after negotiating the climb). Once into the building all was fine.

It's like going back in history to a fabulous bygone era, the hotel oozes charm. Had a great view from the room, looking out to sea. Good for the Ferry and Gun Wharf Quays. Wonderful breakfast in beautiful surroundings. I was very grateful for the prompt call from Reception, informing me I had left some items in the room, upon departure.

I stayed here for one night and was very impressed with the decor in reception. The lift up to my floor was slow but when I got to my room, it was spacious, light and clean. I was very pleased and the bed was great
