satisfactory stay

helpful staff convenient location sticky stairs single teacup

the location near the harbour was really convenient. the staff were very helpful when i asked for directions.

The stairs to the rooms felt sticky. That was a bit off-putting. there was only one teacup in my room. It was inconvenient when i wanted more tea.

harbor view highlight

harbor view friendly staff cozy pub free parking

The room overlooked the harbor. I enjoyed that. the staff were very friendly and helpful with directions. the pub downstairs was cozy, i enjoyed that as well (especially the local brews!). the free parking outside was convenient for me.

The stairs to reach the room felt a bit worn. A fresh coat of paint would do wonders.
