August 24
A major factor in booking was the inclusion of a cooked breakfast. We had stayed here about 18 months ago and enjoyed this. However this was not available (apparently kitchen shut down? ) and in its place was a selection of pasties and cereal. Jam etc and butter provided but no bread/ toast. Doubt I’ll be booking this one again.

Property is old and fairly rundown. The restaurants were closed, however nothing noted when I made the booking, meaning we couldn’t get any dinner because all local restaurants were fully booked. Breakfast was a few croissants stored in a stairwell. No hot drinks or hot food. Rooms are very over priced and facilities are poor. Area is awful. Would not return.

Comfortable stay
The proprietor was very friendly and helpful. However, he was overworked. The DIY breakfast was a good idea. It was a pity that the restaurant closed so early as we were unable to reach the hotel in time for an evening meal. Overall, the two nights spent there were comfortable and good value for money.

Clean rooms, but not what I expected as a whole.
The room was spacious and clean, the beds comfortable. There were lots of places for improvements though. Breakfast was included, but this was a serve yourself from a small selection of fruit (apples and bananas) and cereals, and some individually wrapped pastries. I stated on booking that a vegan breakfast would be required, but no alternative milks available. Upon check in, we were informed that that restaurant wouldn't be open, and the bar would be closing at 9, but actually closed at 8:20. They have a resident cat who is lovely, but unfortunately, the bar stank of cat urine, so not inviting or a comfortable place to unwind after a day of exploring. The place could be fantastic with a bit of effort and tlc.

I wouldn’t stay here if you paid me - in fact I checked in, after paying through expedia then I left and paid again to stay somewhere else. The rooms are mouldy and stink. The so called breakfast is an absolute joke - not even sure you could call it food. There is no restaurant or bars available on site and the guy who checked me in was creepy to say the least - he opened the room door and came in - speaking about making sure I was safe at night when travelling alone as a woman. I didn’t feel safe at all - so left! The hotel where no one would hear you scream! This should be removed from Expedia.

The property was ideal for our overnight stay before catching the early ferry. Near the port ( 10min drive). The room was lovely. Breakfast was “ help yourself” but ample. No surprises if you read the website thoroughly.

We were disappointed to find, on arrival, that the dining facilities (bar, restaurant, residents lounge) were closed. We were not told in advance. The hotel claims the following: "an à la carte restaurant open to residents and non-residents, and a large and popular lounge bar and dining area serving a wide selection of bar meals. There is also a comfortable Residents Lounge." This is not accurate. The lounge and restaurant were closed. Breakfast consisted of a table under the stairs next to the fire escape, with no tables or chairs to sit at (cornflakes and juice). When it stated breakfast included, and shows pictures of a restaurant/bar, we expected better for the price. The room was clean, tidy and comfortable, but the food/drink options are not as advertised.
