Review: An excellent 'bar pension', centrally located easy walking distance from the rail station and ferry terminal. The rooms are very stylishly decorated but compact, so good for a short stay. The ensuite was cleverly designed to fit hand basin, shower and toilet into a small space. Bed comfortable and nice towels and herbal hand / shower wash. TV working with UK free to air channels. Good Wi-fi and tea kettle and china mugs. Good food in the whisky bar and live music too on the night I was there,..., by Tom, 24 October 2026, rated 10/10 Exceptional
Review: A great room in a fantastic location. Absolutely superb service by all the staff that we came across. We were, however, disappointed by the truncation of the menu - no beef/venison on the main menu - and we had been so looking forward to trying both. The staff told us that this was because the hotel was about to shut down for the winter. Such was the rest of our experience during this stay, we will be back next year, hopefully with beef and venison restored to the menu., by Ainslie, 5 December 2023, rated 10/10 Exceptional
Review: Nice hotel to stay in - Lovely sea view room and clean and modern - Building work going on at the moment which did not affect our stay but will look better when finished- One main thing they need to do is sort out the signage for the hotel - Letters missing and main sign at front in a very poor state of repair - First appearances count - nice friendly staff, by frazer, 10 March 2024, rated 10/10 Exceptional
