excellent stay near the harbour!

ideal locationbreakfast servicetraditional pubfantastic shower
The location was ideal for catching the early ferry to the isles. It is directly across the road from the quay! breakfast was a delight, served right in the room at a small table with chairs set up near the window. i loved the traditional pub atmosphere downstairs. It added a unique charm to the experience. the shower was also fantastic, a big walk-in style, ensuring a refreshing start to the day.
the pillows were a little too flat for my liking, but that's a minor issue really.

The hotel sits perfectly for harbour activities. it is convenient if you plan a ferry trip or wish to explore the immediate waterfront area, and getting around is simple. nearby restaurants are an added bonus. They are accessible with a short, pleasant walk.

Acceptable, but some issues

worn roomhigh price
The room looked somewhat worn. It was more costly compared to other accommodations I used to visit in Cornwall. I expected more for the price. A small suitcase was not allowed to be placed into my room.

Just Okay, a bit pricey.

The breakfast delivered to the room was acceptable and saved me time.
On arrival, the room seemed quite worn and it definitely was not worth the price I paid. I did expect more for that kind of money.
