Australia“It’s excellent accommodation, but it is in a pub. So that means noise from drinkers and or music. I don’t think accommodation and pubs go together. So if you’re tired and you’ve been traveling, I wouldn’t stay here. It’s very noisy. And earplugs...” - Nicole Australia“Great location, super staff, Wednesday night music, delicious breakfast”
- Christopher United Kingdom“Very comfortable rooms above a pub. We had better rooms so I cannot comment on other rooms. The breakfast was superb. A very extensive menu well served in the pub bar.”
- Alex United Kingdom“Good distance from the Laines and the pier (10min walk). Lovely and quiet too even being above a working and busy pub on the weekend. Felt secure and was very comfortable.”
