OK for a couple of nights
It was clean, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was good, but it was cramped (especially in bathroom) and the shower was either freezing or scalding.
I had a lovely 2 night stay. Everything clean and comfortable. Staff excellent and delicious breakfast. Will definitely go again.

Managed to get the last room available, on the day, after being double booked elsewhere. Really handy for ferries, hovercraft and bus station, if travelling without a car. Will stay here again!
