“The hotel's harbour views and location stand out, although some past visitors mention inconsistent service and limited menu choices for those avoiding seafood. While the setting has undeniable appeal, there seem to be some housekeeping concerns to consider, making it a place where managing expectations is key. In my opinion, improvements in service and maintenance could elevate its potential considerably.”

harborside delight
water locationlarge bathroompoor preparation
i loved the location. it was right on the water. the pub had good food. the room was quite large with a big bathroom. it had lovely views with a window seat.
i found that the battered haddock had not been boned properly. after finding seven or eight bones, i stopped eating it. a couple of gentle complaints to the waitress brought no response from the kitchen or management.

i had a really spacious room . it included tub chairs allowing me to comfortably enjoy the harbor view. the bar offered great craft beer and i found all the food delicious.
the breakfast was not as excellent , it could definitely be improved. i noticed a limited choice of cereals and sweet pastries. the juice was in opaque jugs , it made it difficult to distinguish the flavors.

I was charmed by the harbor view. It was like a painting. the beer selection included unique local brews, i really enjoyed that! the continental breakfast offered a simple, pleasant start to the day. It had just enough to get me going. the staff were friendly.
My only very slight issue was the limited hot food options . It would have been nice to have more choices.

the location suited my needs well. the staff members were friendly. the room was adequate for my requirements. the inn had parking just outside.
i found the breakfast to be seriously improvable. the breakfast was a continental buffet but poor. there was no toaster unless requested. juice was in opaque jugs making it difficult to identify them.
