The furnishings are a little dated and the Shower over the Bath was tricky, however the rooms were spacious and with Heat Pumps in the Lounge & Bedroom we were very warm. Plus having a Washing Machine & Dryer was great.

Room was nice. Main reason I marked the rating down to good was the noise coming from the Port all night, it didn’t stop and the banging was very loud.

My favourite was the ground-floor room facing the city — peaceful, immaculate, and beautifully presented. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a great night’s rest. The staff were warm and welcoming, and reception was very accommodating, promptly providing swim towels when needed. The pool area was clean and refreshing, adding to an overall relaxing stay.
