Very comfortable bed and room. Staff were friendly and helpful. The bars timeless with a good pint of Adnams.
Pros:

Like an old slipper on the waterfront
Lovely ale

Cons:

The food was quite good as you would expect in a good pub.
Sadly the “seared” calves liver and bacon wasn’t.
It was cooked liked lambs liver with thick gloopy gravy. Good food spoiled
Breakfast was average
