Excellent!
I loved my stay here. The room was spotlessly clean with brand new bedding and recently decorated walls plus why I think was a new carpet. The in room coffee was excellent and the service from reception was exemplary. Would highly recommend a stay here

Wrights by the Sea was by far the cleanest accomodation I’ve stayed in for a long time. They were very helpful & accomodating with our check in at midnight after coming off a late ferry. We would most definitely stay there again.

Bed was soft and roll together in middle. Couch was a foldout that really needs replacing, one end your almost sitting on the floor, uncomfortable.
Location is perfect.
