    Can't think of anything I didn't like

    Great little hotel, beautiful location. Needed a place near the Ferry was perfect. Room was lovely and clean, Bed was very comfortable and warm. Shower had good pressure and hot. Exactly what I needed and the price was right. Owners were very nice and their 2 dogs were awesome. Would definitely stay again.

    Internals are paper thin. Car park is pitch black at night. Breakfast, although good quality is overpriced. Didn't like the fact that I filled out a form with the full details of our stay online and then had to do it again at the hotel. The Receptionist said it was a Booking. Com thing but it was in a message from the Hotel.

    Staff are friendly and helpful. Food is quite good. Location is good. The area is extremely quiet.

    Very old and dated.

    The dinner of steak and ale pie was fantastic. We were only there overnight and up early for the ferry so it was suitable for that reason.

    Easy going ambience. Cheerful beer garden. Friendly staff. Good value pub grub meals. The breakfast was great value at just £5. Staff member Trish was like everybody’s mother in making sure we were happy with our breakfast. It’s also a social enterprise hotel where profits go to supporting organisations addressing problems in society and therefore worthy of support from the travelling public

    Stayed at the boathouse twice now, when travelling to Ireland via Holyhead. Its the perfect location for using the ferry port, and as we had our dogs with us was ideal as there is excellent walking there. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful.

    The bed was very uncomfortable but we managed to sleep ok. I would suggest either a new mattress or memory foam topper.

    It’s close to the ferry port. We arrived after a long journey and very tired. The staff were excellent and made us very welcome. The breakfast was really good.the room was very spacious and clean.

    the hotel needs updating and things like the plumbing and WiFi need addressing. It was not possible for us to access WiFi consistently in our rooms. The staff made these things bearable but I think the cost is high given the facilities at the moment.

    Staff were exceptional - friendly and tried hard to make sure any issues were dealt with promptly. Lovely location. Breakfast was good and dinner was good.

    The breakfast had limited cereal choice. A traditional English grill was offered, but although I asked for scrambled egg rather than fried and no sausage but more tomato. It came as the standard grill. If it was what you wanted, it was good. The hot drinks were standard breakfast tea or instant coffee; my wife likes Earl Grey! The shower tap was not thermostatically controlled so one had to be careful as the temperature was very sensitive to both the overall flow and the hot/cold water mix.

    The location is convenient to the ferry if driving or taking a taxi. The hotel looks out over the marina and was very pleasant to walk along the front. It is an easy walk to the seafront restaurants and a comfortable walk to the main street. The room was very clean and a good size, The bathroom was good. The bar was well stocked and reasonably priced
