"Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to locate the Hotel car park! Lovely property and now we know where the car park is and route to it, will be back when travelling through the Port. Excellent quality breakfast, fresh rooms and spacious public areas. Out of 3 different hotels I have stayed at, whilst I travel on the Ferry this is easily the best and most relaxing. Thank you"
