high noise levels live music schedule
I found some issues . The noise levels were high, especially on saturday evening. there was considerable disturbance from pub patrons in the courtyard. This was directly outside my room. this noise continued late into the night. regrettably, the hotel did not inform me about the live music schedule, a significant oversight considering the early departure i had planned.

charming stay with amazing food!
central location harbour view delicious breakfast
The location was central. the room, a 'double room harbour view', was a perfect size for my needs. breakfast was included, which i didn't initially realize. It was a welcome surprise and so tasty!!! sunday afternoon brought an unexpected treat, delicious roast potatoes. They really helped soak up the local beer.
I noticed a slight issue. the double glazed window wasn't quite up to par. It let in some noise from the courtyard.
