Property is in the industrial area around the port. This made it very quiet which was nice, however was a bit more effort for getting meals etc as it meant a drive into town. A few issues with the TV in the room but this was sorted by the second day.

I loved having the upstairs room with the view of the marina, and the privacy that the room offered. The complimentary continental breakfast every morning was great. The kitchen was limited but offered a good choice of hot drinks. The staff were great and very friendly.
