    2 night visit during British & Irish Lions rugby tour

    An "old classical" hotel right on the waterfront. The staff were very helpful at all points of my couple of days there, and attentive breakfast staff. Very clean and tidy, and bed quite comfortable. Would definitely return

    Great atmosphere Great service

    We visited this hotel for a pre dinner drink as a group of ladies on a girls weekend away. We would have had a meal but we hadn't pre booked and the place was full. It made great atmosphere for our cocktails before dinner.

    Great winter lunch

    We stopped in on a chilly and sunny winter day. The service was great. The seafood chowder was delicious. Oysters were superb. Good place to relax and eat. Nice views also. I would definitely return next time I am up there.

    Thank Chapstar
