Overnight stay
Customer service was average. Did not feel welcomed. However meals for dinner and breakfast were good and large servings. States washing facilities but we were told they no longer exist. Close to see the seals which was great. Cute little town.

Very pleasant stay
Very nice stay here. Nice part of the world & all staff were friendly!!
Would definitely consider staying again if ever in the area.
Breakfast was good but slightly slow service which wasn’t our servers fault as she was very busy & working alone. She was very friendly.
Bar stayed open late which worked well with us catching up with friends. And the bar staff were great, didn’t feel like they were rushing us at the end of the night.

Let down
Unfortunately there isn't too much positives regards this hotel. Great location for the seals but thats about it. The blonde waitress (colour for ref as didnt catch name) was attentive and helpful. The room was tired, mattress was bent like a banana some switches weren't working, pull out sofa bed was torn, no working tv channels etc. I know this hotel has had some issues from previous ownership but if your not prepared for guests dont take bookings it wasent worth the cost.

Quiet weekend stopover
Quiet town/village feel. Easy to find and park.
Restaurant has lots of choice and many locals eating there, which is a very good sign.
Welcoming check in.
