cozy room near the ferry
morning ferry friendly staff
the location was indeed perfect for catching the morning ferry! the staff were friendly and showed us to our room without delay. there was sufficient space for our dog to sleep comfortably.
I didn't spend much time in the bar. Still, it seemed somewhat busy with a good atmosphere, though the off street parking only, wasn't ideal.

adequate stay
tea selection coffee selection tidy room uncomfortable area noisy stairs street light
the room offered a good selection of teas and coffee and biscuits. the room looked newly refurbished and very clean. it was tidy upon arrival.
the area did not feel comfortable. i had to park in the lane because there was no dedicated parking. the stairs outside the room were noisy so i could hear other guests coming and going easily.

coffee sachets sea front ferry port
The hotel is near the ferry port and was easy to locate. The room had many coffee sachets. A walk along the sea front was a few steps away.
The television remote was faulty. I only got one channel.
