“The sea front location is undeniably a strong point, with Gunwharf Quay and historic docks easily reached. My findings suggest rooms are comfortable and the restaurant food, both dinner and breakfast, receives consistent praise. While the bar and reception area could benefit from attention, the overall impression is one of excellent value and a most agreeable stay.”
