Charming Stay Above a Lively Pub

generous breakfast friendly staff

The room offered ample space and provided a fantastic view of the bay over the rooftops. Breakfast was generous I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. The location was quite convenient for exploring the town, and I appreciated the lively atmosphere of the pub.

Parking was challenging since I could not find a spot near the hotel I had to walk quite a distance.

Rooms

The room included a comfortable bed and an array of choices for tea and coffee. The room was clean and bright I found it warm and inviting at the inn.

Dining

8/10

The full English breakfast was satisfying and ample, setting me up well for the day. The pub has a great range of quality wines at affordable prices they are supposed to begin brewing their own ales soon.

some issues with noise and cleanliness

room noise poor cleanliness

the noise from the pub below was quite disruptive. it went on late. also, i found the room wasn't as clean as i hoped.. there were some noticeable cobwebs in the corners and dust on some surfaces. the experience could improve with better soundproofing and more thorough cleaning.
