Nice location, seemed short staffed
Had to ask for milk and plates at breakfast, limited selection, coffee not great. Our sea view was a tiny window and in the eaves of building as was windy in evening had disturbed sleep from roof rattling.

Friendly staff but dated hotel
Check in staff was amazing. We got in later than expected but was accommodation for the silly hour of arrival. Room 2 was damp smelling like a wet dog. Bed could do with a new mattress. The room was run down and dusty around the floor.

Great place for taking your dog lots of walks nearby. Even a separate dinning room that you can take your pet into when at breakfast. Great views over the harbour.The only downside would be the evening dinner menu could be a bit more exciting and maybe a specials choice so as not the same menu each night.

Too hot in the room on a warm day
This was my second visit during the week to this hotel, the first stay was in a premium double room and then this stay was in a more budget single room, it was a warm summers day. I opened the room to be hit by the heat coming from the bathroom, sadly the bathroom window handle was broken and could not be opened, the bathroom also had a large hot water pipe along the wall that was not insulated, thus it just radiated heat into the room, I think this was the mains supply for the entire floor. The only other window in the bedroom could only be opened by a couple of centimetres, so not great for a warm night.

Nice location
The hotel was ok nice location , nice views we only stayed 1 night but probably would not go back , im personally not a fan of dog friendly hotels and there was quite a lot of dogs staying , i love dogs but when im on vacation i really dont want to stay in a room that a dog has been in i dont think its very hygienic
