I had a fantastic experience at this hotel, where the cleanliness was top-notch, and the staff were immensely friendly and accommodating. The location couldn't be better, right by the ferry terminal and train station, making transportation a breeze. The kitchenette in my spacious room was well-equipped and convenient, and it was lovely to enjoy a view of the harbor while sipping my morning coffee. Plus, I appreciated the nearby eateries, like the local pub offering a hearty breakfast for under £5.
