I enjoyed my stay but as I'm disabled the access avoiding the steps at the entrance was not obvious but was relatively easy but only revealed at first chat at reception (after negotiating the climb). Once into the building all was fine.

Nice stay

Nice comfortable stay. Only had breakfast one morning which was fine. Evening meals looked expensive but if paying for quality it’s probably worth it.

Hotel was nice, staff very friendly and rooms in a nice clean condition. It wasn't noisy at all, which I did worry about as the night I was there a wedding was taking place, but I was pleasantly surprised that there was no noise at all.

It's like going back in history to a fabulous bygone era, the hotel oozes charm. Had a great view from the room, looking out to sea. Good for the Ferry and Gun Wharf Quays. Wonderful breakfast in beautiful surroundings. I was very grateful for the prompt call from Reception, informing me I had left some items in the room, upon departure.
