The rickety chairs in diningroom have still not been replaced or repaired. Our room was very small, but still functional and as we were on a mega cheap rate that was quite acceptable.

Clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. Delicious food. Unfortunately the shower in our room (room 3) would not get warm no matter what we tried or how long we waited, so we had to resort to a stand up wash. We would stay again though, hopefully with a hot shower next time!

Cold - but Value for Money
Last minute booking due to cancelled ferries on a cold and windy night. Room was very cold as heating was off and old sash windows rattling in the wind. It did warm up once the radiator was on, but was still cold. Staff very pleasant and helpful when we asked for blankets. Breakfast was fine and plentiful. Parking outside is time restricted which meant we had to move our car a couple of times. Apart from the temperature, the stay was fine and value for money.
