“This spot, nestled by a marina, strikes a compelling balance between seclusion and accessibility, especially given the pub on-site. The rooms, while perhaps needing a refresh according to some, are consistently noted for their spaciousness and comfortable beds. What truly elevates it, however, is the calibre of the staff, whose warmth and attentiveness are a recurring highlight, making even a brief stay feel exceptionally welcoming.”
