“The room was a great size, as was the bed. Paid a little extra for a sea-view and it was well worth it. It had fantastic views of the Abbey and the harbour.
Also I would suggest you pre-book your parking. Only £6 for 24 hours, which is a bargain...”

“The location, but it also has character and doesn’t have the feel of a generic hotel chain. The room was perfect and while heavy creaking came from upstairs rooms, this is to be expected from a period hotel.”
