    Centrally located, wtih just a 5-minute walk to the town centre. Breakfast excellent. When we had a problem with the noisy air-conditioner, the manager gave us a new room and two courtesy drinks vouchers.

    208 pounds for one night is too much for this level of quality. Staff are good. It's in a slightly dingy area. Room is perfectly functional. 5 mins drive to ferry. Does the job.
