A good location to walk around and see the sights. Rooms clean and had everything you needed. Parking is limited and you need to book and pay for a spot if you have a car. Very handy location if you are using Ferries. Good pubs and eateries nearby.

The property was good. Construction was going on around the property and parking was not available which made it extra work to find a place to park. It was still a good stay.

Nice room, but the info was not clear—no ovens in studios, we discovered when we arrived. No picture of the room showed the giant post in the middle of the pathway to the bathroom either, or the bolts that stuck out from it about 2cm at ankle level. It was between the closet and the bed (with about two feet clear on either side) and about two feet from the middle of the bathroom doorway. A real nuisance, even a hazard.

Good value for money.
Great location, excellent room, kitchenette and bathroom (It even had a washing machine and tumble dryer which was an added bonus.) Very large comfortable bed. Excellent all round Only negative - We bought continental breakfast boxes (as we had a very early ferry) but they were very poor contents / value
