With the reviews of this hotel being half great, half bad, I was a little hesitant to book, and shared bathrooms are usually a nonstarter. But we took this trip last-minute, so our options were limited. If you are worried about this hotel after some of the reviews, don't be. It's not fancy in any way, but the staff are lovely, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. The shared bathrooms were also very clean - we bumped into the cleaning lady in there several times in one day, so they are obviously well-looked-after. So, if you are the fence, as long as you're not looking for fancy, this is a good option. We spent the money we saved at several local restaurants instead. :-)

The rooms were very clean and the beds comfortable. A full length mirror would have been handy plus a hanging rack in both rooms. Also ironing facilities. The shared bathroom was out of order on our floor so we had to go up another flight of stairs to use the bathroom. Staff were friendly. A quick rundown of check out procedure was given but no help offered to get our bags upstairs.

Nice stay for 2 nights. There was plenty of room for a table and chairs or stools under the coffee bench , rather than eating on the bed.

Good clean, well presented pub rooms. It’s an old pub, creaky old floors, shared bathroom. Street parking only. The rooms are good if you have a few and want to stay the night. Good pub food. A few nice cafes on the same street and only a 10min walk to the blowhole. The staff were very good.
