Cheap and comfortable
Pros:

Value for money, needed somewhere to stay for one night relatively last minute and found this place which worked out perfectly.

Cons:

Had to wait at the reception for 5-10 mins for a member of staff to come out of pub/restaurant to check us in but not a big deal in the grand scheme of things at all

I did make it the best just not sure if i would come bak
Pros:

Love the location
Great spot
Close to the water and beautiful walks around .

Cons:

I truly believe that the room could more up date it , bathroom needs more work and toilet should be change .
Also need it to be inform that there is no elevator if you have big suitcases to take to the top door
