Overall a very decent stay with a good bar and restaurant with an excellent breakfast line the morning. The rooms could do with a small freshen up looking a bit tired, but it was very clean and tidy.

Parking was straightforward. Hotel and the restaurant are in good order. Staff are excellent and well trained. Rooms were clean and tidy. There was everything you could possibly need but the landing area could do with a paint - thats my only negative observation

Overnight stay

Second visit, great service, excellent food in the evening and choice of breakfast, had a room with a view this time, was more spacious and overlooked the marina, thanks for another great stay, lovely evening walks by the river or a nice pint outside. Handy for the Dockyard next day
