rnli college stay
easy parking breakfast buffet local quay
I appreciated the easy car parking. It made arrival stress-free. the breakfast buffet included many options. i liked the buffet breakfast and the hotel's proximity to the local quay for strolls to traditional pubs.
Some scaffolding obscured the lovely views from the room. This impacted the overall relaxing atmosphere.

harbor view clean room friendly staff
The bedroom offered an amazing view, I could see the harbor activity. The room was very clean and well kept. The staff were helpful (they assisted with directions) and very friendly.
The lighting controls lacked fine-tuning. It was either all lights on or all lights off.
