Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Lugger Inn is often described as a cosy and clean accommodation option in a beautiful spot right next to the harbour and the ferry pier, making it ideal for coastal footpath walkers. Guests appreciate the well-presented rooms, some of which have been newly and tastefully renovated, offering great views over the harbour. Many have enjoyed the modern bathrooms with showers, comfortable beds with white linen, and the availability of Netflix on TV; the complimentary gin and tonic with an ice bucket has been an unexpected but welcome surprise for some.

Decent Stay near the Quay

quay locationpleasant staffeasy parkingsmall roomblocked drainno room service
The location is right by the quay. I parked near the hotel without problems. The staff seemed pleasant during my meals.
The room was small and had no space for a chair. The sink drain was blocked when I arrived. I was not told about the policy of not servicing rooms .

Harbour Views and Tasty Food!

harbour viewlive musictasty mealclean room
Our room was just above the slipway. I fell asleep listening to the waves. I woke up to the sound of seagulls, it was AMAZING!!! The pub downstairs had a great singer. I also had a delicious meal, I felt so content.
The bathroom skirtings needed better cleaning. Otherwise, the room was super clean.

I stayed in a supposed Beautiful King Room. The room felt smaller than expected. There was a definite lack of space. I also found the shower cleanliness lacking. The shower plug needed better attention.

The location was perfect. Accommodation was comfortable.
I wasn't told about the live music on my second night, and I couldn't even get a table for dinner that evening. It was just disappointing.
