Clean room, hot shower. Comfy bed.
Building appears tired and needs attention. Tiny parking spaces and a loose lamp wire made for a bit of hassle during the stay.

absolutely disapointing, I expected a warm welcome. Instead, I found dirty curtains and walls so thin that I shared a 'lovely' conversation through my wall. The staff must be overwhelmed, considering they don't even offer upgrades to embarrassed returning guests. I almost gave a good review, just couldn’t! This was a total letdown, really.

Good value and very clean rooms.
The walls in my room were quite thin, making it hard to get a good night’s sleep due to noise from the adjacent room. I also found the check-in process a bit confusing, especially since I arrived late at night and had to look around the back to find an entrance. the hot water in the shower was inconsistent at times after a long day of travel.

The stay was just what we needed before catching an early ferry. The bed in our double room was super comfortable, making it easy to get a good night's sleep. Plus, the parking was conveniently located right outside, which simplified our arrival. the room had a heavy duvet for the season, making it a bit too warm. it was a satisfactory stopover close to the ferry terminal.

comfortable, comfortable, comfortable
The bed in my room was incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night's sleep before an early ferry. I loved the convenience of having parking right outside my chalet, which made unloading my luggage a breeze. Plus, the tea and coffee facilities were a delightful touch, allowing me to enjoy a warm drink right in my room after a long day of travel.
strongly recommend 😊❤️

Perfect Overnight Stop Before the Ferry
I had a lovely stay—Sandy welcomed me warmly and ensured that I felt completely at home. The room was cozy and clean, providing a perfect setting for a good night’s sleep. Convenient parking right outside and just a short walk to town for dinner made it an ideal location.

Housekeeping was excellent and very helpful, and beachy decor added a nice touch to the room. Communicating with staff was easy, enabling a smooth check-in process. The location was perfect for hopping on the ferry.
The thin walls made for some noise disturbances from adjacent rooms.
