Wonderful character hotel on waterfront with amazing history. Rooms well furnished and extremely comfortable beds. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the kitchen provided an excellent vegan breakfast as well. Only drawback is lack of dedicated parking which was fine in the off-season (winter) but would definitely become a challenge when the town is busy in summer.

Breakfast excellent so it was confusing that the lunch menu and food was poor. Hotel looks lovely and staff were great. Small attic room up several flights of stairs and no lift to assist with heavy luggage resulted in sore backs!
