The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spotless and Comfortable

I had the pleasure of staying in a Double Room with a Private Bathroom. The room was very clean, and the en-suite bathroom appeared brand new. The shower was fantastic! I also appreciated the extra tea and milk provided when I requested it. I couldn't have asked for a better place to rest after a long day.

Excellent Shower Experience

I must say, the bathroom in my King Room with Sea View was impressive! It had a great shower that I looked forward to using. Plus, the overall cleanliness added to my positive experience during my stay.

Convenient Parking Availability

I was glad to find ample guest parking available, which made our arrival and departure hassle-free. This feature was particularly helpful given our early morning ferry schedule, allowing us the convenience we needed during our stay.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant, featuring stunning views of the harbour and very comfy rooms. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, particularly regarding the limited breakfast selection. The location was ideal for catching a ferry, but the price may not quite reflect the value, especially with regard to the dining options.
