It suited my purpose of staying overnight before a morning sail on the Ferry. The food that I had brought to my room was of very high standard. It's a pub with accommodation.

We stayed here for 1 night as it was quite late when we arrived off the ferry. Great little hotel and staff were very helpful and even carried our bags upstairs as there was no lift. Also kitchen had closed by the time we arrived. Room was very nice and bed was comfortable. Parking was around the back. Enjoyed our stay here.

Hotel ideally situated for stopping overnight when arriving late on the ferry, rooms all upstairs but comfortable, a fair bit of noise especially from other guests talking loudly when heading to their rooms and when congregating in the common room. Reasonably priced, excellent food in the restaurant.
