Okay stay for cheaper accommodation.
Pros:

The central location along the waters edge was great, the staff were exceptionally friendly and the room was clean.

Cons:

You can hear every word of your neighbours conversation and TV, feels like they’re in your room, very loud. The pillows were very hard and uncomfortable. As there weren’t many guests in the inn (we travelled in Feb — the off season), our continental breakfast was delivered in paper bags to our door which consisted of some bread, spreads, and a muesli bar — very minimal and not particularly appetising. We would have preferred some cereal or somewhere to toast the bread perhaps. The heat of the shower comes on and off, it went cold, but if you wait it will get hot again. Also the kettle doesn’t turn off, once boiled it will continue to boil.
