harbour view free parking clear instruction
The location was excellent, situated right on the harbour. I had a great view from my room. There was free parking available, very convenient. The communication from the owners regarding arrival instructions was clear.
The gulls were noisy because the hotel is on a working harbour. My sleep was disrupted due to their squawking throughout the night.

Excellent stay by the quay

clean room arch window free parking
The room was beautifully decorated and furnished. I had a superb arch window facing the quayside. Everything was clean and set out to ensure my stay was comfortable. The free parking at the rear was helpful, though limited to four cars..
I stayed in a room above a pub and it was slightly noisy ONE evening.
