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.

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

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.

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!

A lovely stay at this well-presented pub, with fantastic food. Our room was comfortable and had a great balcony with beautiful views across the marina. Staff were friendly and helpful. Wish we could have stayed another night!

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
