The venue was excellently placed for walking distance to the wharf and main street restaurants. It was set back from the road with limited view of the water, but protected from road noise. The rooms were comfortable and well equipped for our needs. It was reasonably clean but it could have done with a quick once over to get rid of all the dead insects on surfaces. It was nice to find fresh milk and crumpets in the fridge for us. We would definitely stay there again.
