More choices for all allergies at breakfast time
Pros:

The closeness to the harbour and the shops on front

Cons:

The fact there was nothing to place your toiletries on in bathroom and the actual bedroom had a few issues, curtains hanging of pole stains on carpet, tv kept turning off and on while watching it, not much choice of food at breakfast I’m gluten and dairy intolerant and while I did get something it wasn’t really what I’d want to eat at breakfast, altho it wasn’t nice.

Potentially this could have been a great stay. Room so let it down!
Pros:

location of the dining room. Dinner was lovely. Very large portions.

Cons:

Terrible room 27A. This room was on ground level facing out onto a brick wall. No ventilation. Noise from bar on street late at night. Asked for another room when booking in but this was dismissed very quickly.
