Clearly the folks here are working hard to bring this lovely old inn back to life. A few kinks to be worked out, but we enjoyed our night there. The food in restaurant was very good, if a bit limited on item availability.

The service is amazing, they're all so friendly. The kitchen is excellent and there are often events in the hotel going on. On my arrival they had live music by local bands. Felt home in the area immediately. Don't be fooled by the 2-star rating, it's a simple facility but with everything else, they're a 4-star for me!

Great option for family of four

We had booked a family room and were pleasantly surprised when this was actually 2 rooms with a private connecting hall with storage space and shower room. Looks like it could be used as separate rooms with shared shower room also. Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. Reception friendly and a great choice of options for breakfast. We used as a base as were kayaking for 2 days, so didn’t have the opportunity to try the evening meals. Their website did state that they were newer owners and in process of updating. Doing a good job of getting through it from what we saw. Might not suit someone looking for a generic bland chain hotel experience.

Extremely friendly, comfortable, and dog friendly. The food in the bar was properly home cooked and obviously not from a packet. While it's a bit of a walk to the docks, the hotel is right next to the Breakwater country park, allowing for scenic walks or runs.
