Lovely stay if visiting dockyard
Nice cosy room and big bath. Nice to have bar and restaurant on site. Walking distance to shopping and the historic dockyard. Friendly staff. Free parking. Nicer to be overlooking the marina than the dockyard where other hotel is situated.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Property desperately needs fresh paint on walls and doors and carpets cleaned. The public areas felt really dirty. It is a tiny hotel lobby and at entrance to bar and restaurant with considerable foot traffic but owners need to make a greater effort to keep it clean and fresh.

Great place to stay
Really nice pub and hotel. Good was excellent!! We stayed on the weekend so it was about loud (not their fault) but customers were very loud and shouting outside. Would definitely stay again when in the area!

We had a good overnight stay and meal in restaurant. Only issue was lack of plug sockets by the mirror to dry hair, and lighting could have been a bit brighter
