The rooms are considered atmospheric and well-appointed, some boasting harbour or sea views. Guests appreciate the comfy beds, and some rooms even offer mini-fridges, though a few guests have found certain rooms, like the 'Fergie' room, to be on the smaller side with limited space.

few hangers absent fridge
the breakfast was acceptable, even though it started quite late.
The room lacked practical amenities. I only found four coat hangers and no drawers. the absence of a fridge was also frustrating. Milk went bad quickly. a member of staff didn't ask about my stay or offer assistance (i found this quite strange).
