Dog friendly pub with fabulous friendly staff
The rooms are comfortable and had all the facilities you would want. The rooms are a little tired but with such a busy island you’ll only be sleeping and showering in it. Staff extremely helpful and welcoming including to our dog who they treated like royalty. Evening meal very good and breakfast which I paid for in advance was impressive. Great location. A little noisy at pub closing time but should be expected as I booked a hotel above a pub!!! Would recommend for all

Ideal location for the centre of town. Comfortable room with all requirements for an overnight stay.
Perfect location to start the coastal path walk.
Stayed at the beginning of walk Sunday very quiet at night. Stayed at end of walk Saturday night. Very noisy outside in street until early hours, even with windows closed
Otherwise great place to stay. Staff lovely and helpful. Meal choice good and plentiful

We were greeted with a friendly welcome by the host whom also offered to carry bags up to our room, greatly appreciated.
The room and bathroom had a magnificent view over the harbour and we then realise this is a gem of a place to have a weekend break from it all.
That evening we relaxed with a wonderful meal, excellent wine and local music.
That night slept exceedingly well in a comfortable bed.
Breakfast was beyond expectation and seriously spoilt for choice, although it was busy we did not have to wait too long for our feast.
We really appreciated the service provided by the staff, always happy, attentive and above all … friendly.
Thank you so much for making our stay so relaxing and enjoyable.
We will no doubt return soon for another weekend away

Pleasant stay
We have visited the hotel before and enjoyed our stay both times. The hotel is centrally located within the town and the rooms are a good size. The service is always excellent and the rooms were clean. There was a good range of evening meals to choose from. A friendly family run hotel.
