I will recommend this location to all I know are traveling to the area.
Pros:

The owner, Anthony, is a hoot! All the staff at the White Lady were excellent. The bar and restaurant were great as well. Great location.

Cons:

Hmmm... the outside could use a bit of a facelift, and the heating system wasn't working quite right.

Basic hotel, no frills, decent location.
Pros:

Location was close and only a few minutes walk to town. We don’t eat in the restaurant, but wished we had. The food looked great. We did have drinks at the bar and they have a nice cocktail menu.

Cons:

It was dated, a bit run down, bed wasn’t very comfortable. Everything was just very basic. Price didn’t match the stay.

Would recommend and stay again.
Pros:

Very nice welcoming by the owner, Anthony, of hotel and restaurant. Comfortable bed and room. Nice walk along the water into town to shops and pubs. Very good food. Was lucky to get parking next to hotel.

Cons:

No hot water from sink. But plenty from shower. Would not like to have to find a place on street to park.
