"Rooms were as expected, clean and comfortable as expected. Accommodation is across the car park from the main restaurant and there are 2 options nearby for EV charging, which was useful for us. I’m a light sleeper and could hear the noise from nearby road and car parks, but didn’t keep me up for long. Food in the restaurant was ok, typical pub fayre in the evening, but we never tried the breakfast- which you can drop in for without booking."

"My second visit here was just as brilliant as the first visit, a different room this time but just as nice, with excellent views over the sea and harbour. A friendly welcome on my arrival and a spotless, very spacious room. The whole property looks like it’s been fully renovated recently and their attention to detail is excellent, nice fluffy towels, quality bedding, really nice decor all make the room feel very comfortable and enjoyable. I’ll be back again when I’m next in the area."
