harbour view heaven

superb location spacious room harbour view
the location was superb! i could walk to everything i wanted to see. my room was spacious. i really liked the view overlooking the harbour. the provided english breakfast each morning was also a lovely treat.
the lack of on-site parking was inconvenient as street parking was always full. this meant i had to park further away! it caused a bit of a walk.

good location friendly staff good size room early closure confusing breakfast missed breakfast
The location was excellent and i enjoyed the friendly staff. The food was good too i thought. The room was a good size with storage space a table and chairs and a vanity dresser. i had a good view of the boats at the front.
i booked the hotel with a small bar and bistro so we could use these . They promptly closed at 4pm and locked up plus it was in darkness. i was confused by breakfast not being served till 10.30am because i had to vacate the room at 10am. i missed the breakfasts so can't comment further on this.
