“I found this historic inn to be a characterful base, conveniently positioned in the town centre with easy access to the waterfront and ferry terminal. The food, both breakfast and evening meals, was surprisingly good, freshly prepared, and reasonably priced, adding to the overall feeling of good value. It strikes a comfortable chord, feeling like a genuine local pub with welcoming staff and a solid, lived-in charm.”
