decent stay near the harbour

double bed good size outside access clean room missing sign faulty kettle weekend noise
the room had two double beds, good. access to the rooms was available from outside the pub. the room was clean.
the shared bath needs a sign showing when it's occupied. the kettle station tampered with the lights when on. noise at the weekend was loud because it is above a pub.

friendly staff clean room fine view
The staff were lovely. They provided good local knowledge. the room was very clean and tidy. the view from our room at the front was fine. a kettle was available in the room.
The shared bathroom and entrance were often left open by other guests. i felt it should have been closed. the towels were barely big enough. I needed to walk the length of the corridor in it.
