great stay!

comfy bed great location beautiful fittings
the room was beautiful! it had lots of space plus a comfy bed. i loved the location by the harbour road! the hotel's building looked traditional and well preserved, i was impressed! the food tasted great and the staff were very friendly! i found the hotel fantastic and traditional with beautiful fittings.
The younger server seemed a bit begrudging, especially when we asked for tartar sauce. Some extra customer service training would be great.

the food wasn't great . my fish and chips were disappointing because the chips seemed like they came straight from the freezer. plus, the fish batter was too greasy for my taste. i think they really need to improve the quality of the ingredients used.
