Disappointing

Nobody around when we arrived to check in. Room very small with a view onto an unattractive courtyard/adjacent building. Almost every floorboard squeaked when you walked on it and there was quite a lot of noise from the room above, not because the people were noisy; just the noise of people moving around and the floor squeaking, the sound of doors opening and closing etc. Beds not particularly comfortable. Shower room had fixtures falling off wall. Floor of shower/wet room area was a laminate not suited for the purpose; it felt spongy as if whatever was underneath had rotted due to water leaking through. Superficially, the decor throughout was attractive, fresh and modern. Overall, our stay was disappointing. It could be a lot better if proper attention was given to some aspects.

Nicely located next to the sea walk in Bangor. Easy walking distance to many shops and pubs. Nice selection of foods for breakfast. Mattresses need upgrading to something that you can't feel the springs through.

Beautiful lodge with stunning views.

Booked this for my parents. They absolutely loved it. They didn’t get breakfast but said it was croissants etc not sure if this is correct. Know my parents would have loved a fry but they overall LOVED their stay and definitely will be staying again. They loved the area outside for bbq and drinks and will be back to make use of this for definite

Great Hospitality and Warm Welcome

Julie gave a warm welcome and very accommodating. Wanted to support a local independent hotel, not a chain. This therefore had a homely feel with extra touches. Thank you Julie for your hospitality and will definitely return.

10/10

10 out of 10. Got a beautiful room on the top floor overlooking the marina, so peaceful and quiet. Had a really good night's sleep. The room has been recently decorated in neutral tones and with a nod to a suitably nautical theme, and the sofa was a welcome bonus to watch the world go by. The bath was also a bonus for after a trek around the coastal path. If you get caught out with a spell of bad weather, they have smart tvs with just about every streaming service on there. I also appreciated the fresh fruit salad at the continental breakfast.

Comfy stay, good location, friendly staff, free parking out front. Cute old place, old style maintained with modern comforts added. The WC had a few random sounds but was clean and not all of the window blinds stayed closed which would be worth fixing to block out street lights on front of building. A strong smell of cigarette smell upon entering building, unfortunately for those allergic/bothered, which I hope was a one-off. Otherwise staff was extremely nice, friendly, and attentive. Slept well. I'd stay here again.
