Just passable due to location and car park.
Pros:

Location and car park.

Cons:

The room smelt of an old people’s home. Tv didn’t work and hot water was luke warm but warmed up after running it for 5 mins. No biscuits or water. Cobweb that had been hanging from the ceiling that had been there some time. Room was like a Greenhouse. Cold in the morning and hot during the day due to old sash window looking directly over pub garden.

Nice stay but very disappointed with the bathroom experience
Pros:

Property was really nice lots of big rooms. Food was lovely staff brilliant

Cons:

Shower needed replacing in room 6. I couldn’t have a shower as the shower control was too tight. Bath and shower very old and needs an upgrade.

Lovely easy experience. Good car parking and location. Staff very professional
Pros:

For the price it was an excellent place to stay before catching the ferry. Staff were very attentive at reception and in the restaurant. The whole experience was comfortable and relaxing with a very welcoming atmosphere. I ate in the restaurant on my own and felt quite at home. Building is old so rooms a little dated but I had everything I needed and bathroom was fresh and clean. I would highly recommend.

Cons:

Maybe some net curtains on the window as I noticed some other windows had them and room was a little overlooked.
