Great location. Traditional old pub.
Pros:

Location was good.
In close proximity to the railway station.
Easy walking distance to High Street.
Parking on site. First come first served.
Very clean and comfortable room (8).

Cons:

We expected a varied menu at the location and would have eaten in however the only menu we saw was for pizza.
Unavoidable, however two flights of steep stairs to room.
Biggest bird poops ever on car (in pub car park) overnight.

Definitely recommend
Pros:

Rooms were very clean as were all other areas. Staff were welcoming, friendly and really attentive. Breakfast really lovely. I'm vegetarian and my friend vegan, we were both catered for and the staff were very helpful , even asking if there was anything else they could get in for us. Location was very convenient for shops, harbour and train station. Would definitely recommend Bosuns Chair and would stay again.

Cons:

Mattress was a bit on the firm side for me.

Spacious room, clean, nice towels and bedding, lovely breakfast, great location, friendly staff. Enjoyed the tea making facilities too.

Cons:

It was quite warm! No in-between blind so we could get changed without having to shut the whole blind and then it got dark!

Overnight stay at the Bosuns Chair
Pros:

I liked the good sized room with ensuite and the close proximity to the Quay shops and old pubs. The full English breakfast was wonderfully cooked and presented with a lovely polite waitress serving us. I also liked the modern kettle, coffee machine. The special lighting was brilliant for reading in bed. A lot of thought to detail has gone into the rooms amenities. The ambience with heron wallpaper and an owl. Lovely clean bedding and plenty of towels.

Cons:

The stairs were a bit of a climb with a suitcase, but not a real problem as we still managed. Although a sea view mentioned you could just see the ships sails and countryside.

We enjoyed our stay at the Bosun's Chair and would recommend it to others.
Pros:

The room was relatively spacious and the bed was comfortable. Despite the accommodation being very close to the railway station this did not cause any problem in respect of the noise levels.
The breakfasts were very good and made a nice start to the day.
The location is excellent, being close to the marina and the shops.

Location good near to railway station and shops and off-road parking provided.
Pros:

Clean, due to it being an old building lots of fire doors in accommodation.

Cons:

Only serving pizzas in the week, meals apparently served weekends.
