    The lift wasn't working, and I have stayed there before and it wasn't working then

    Very disappointed, there was no full cooked breakfast as stated with your stay

    My room had no view and the window wouldn't open more than a few centimetres. The hot water took 5 mins to come through and when it did it was luke warm and had no pressure.

    The location can't be beaten. It is close to the station and shops and on the harbour side.

    Certainly not an accurate image of the room; no bath mat and none in the bath either, danger of slipping; the shower head directs water to the taps below, not the person; the quilt cover was not truly clean. All are quite simple to solve and just shows a lack of due care and attention.

    Nice location, good breakfast, staff friendly

    No lift ...my sister really struggled with using the stairs. With hindsight we should have asked for a different room, but on booking in December requested room with a view. That was beautiful but could have been on lower floor, so don't blame the Hotel.

    Lovely breakfast😊

    This hotel is desperately in need of renovation. It looks tatty from the outside and is tatty inside. Staircase was on an angle and cracks appearing in it. Went down for breakfast at 9.45 as breakfast was between 8-10 there wasn't any tea or coffee there so we asked for 2 coffees and were told no as they close the restaurant at 10 so she wouldn't give us one. Breakfast was cereal and toast. We were happy with the price we paid but that was all it was worth we definitely wouldn't pay any more than that.

    The view from the room was lovely. Location was perfect. Lovely pub attached to hotel but unfortunately they didn't serve food.

    The carpet was wet around the window as if it had been leaking in. The shower head was rusty. The condensation covered whole window. There was no cooked breakfast. There were huge pieces of rotten wood around the windows outside. The curtains looked like they had been put up about 100 years ago and never brought back down.

    The room was clean and warm. The bed was comfortable

    The breakfast was tiny and served on a tea plate and over and under cooked. We waitress in the morning was miserable and unaccomodating.

    The hotel needs a major overhaul and redecorated. Building falling apart.

    Shower area needs tidying up. A lamp and a power point on both sides of the bed would be an improvement.

    Perfect location with views of the bay. Friendly staff. Nice breakfast.
