Had a perfectly pleasant stay for a wedding in the area, everything was lovely. The location close to the harbour was lovely and fantastic for us. And it's a 10-15 minute walking distance from Happy Gathering, ate there once or twice. The employees of the hotel were competent and decent. The breakfast was generous and amazing and complete with the vegan options and juice.

Quaint property with pretty friendly employees to who we believe was a manager. Great and beautiful location steps away from St Mary's Church. Found in a local area close to the center of town, the nature of the original building, rather than the design, and the town centre and railway station.
