Lovely two night stay
Check in was great, staff checked cars into the parking system for the duration of the stay, food was excellent, room was clean, the staff were all great, lots of choice of eating establishments, but I wouldn't have wanted to have missed out on an evening meal here either

Great place to stay
Really nice pub and hotel. Good was excellent!! We stayed on the weekend so it was about loud (not their fault) but customers were very loud and shouting outside. Would definitely stay again when in the area!

Lovely stay if visiting dockyard
Nice cosy room and big bath. Nice to have bar and restaurant on site. Walking distance to shopping and the historic dockyard. Friendly staff. Free parking. Nicer to be overlooking the marina than the dockyard where other hotel is situated.

Lovely setting, nice room, communal areas bit tired around edges, staff friendly. Great Eggs Royale for breakfast…
Helen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a good overnight stay and meal in restaurant. Only issue was lack of plug sockets by the mirror to dry hair, and lighting could have been a bit brighter
1-night trip

6/10 Good

Property desperately needs fresh paint on walls and doors and carpets cleaned. The public areas felt really dirty. It is a tiny hotel lobby and at entrance to bar and restaurant with considerable foot traffic but owners need to make a greater effort to keep it clean and fresh.
Suzanne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Bed really comfy but the pillows let them down as they were lumpy.

Situated in such a historic area it sits well on the location. Retains many original features
GARY, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay
I go regularly and the stay is always great. The food is great, the only thing that wish is the breakfast starts earlier as they start at 7.30, so it can be a rush to eat and go, overall fantastic stay and will go again.
2-night trip

6/10 Good

Disappointed
Bit disappointed after excellent reviews. Maybe Saturday night is not good. Given room next to staff area and could hear noises in our room during the night. Shower was scalding hot so perhaps a warning needed. Waited 45 minutes in restaurant for our food in the evening. Staff seemed pre-occupied and surprised to see us at breakfast. Food good and excellent service from two young people serving at breakfast.

Excellent gem inside
From the outside this hotel doesn’t look great but what a fabulous surprise when you step inside. Fabulous bar and restaurant. Good sized rooms and comfortable stay. Will definitely return
