Summary: So friendly, helpful and accommodating. Good value for money.

Antony Jun 2, 2025 05:15:14 PM

Summary: Overnight stay straight from the France ferry. Have to be in by 11pm which as we had delay getting off the boat we called to say we were on our way. Were told "we shut at 11pm!" but, we made it in time anyway.

Abbie Apr 16, 2025 03:08:25 AM

Summary: Staff friendly and welcoming. Very noisy the first night (sunday) most of the noise came from private property above our room and then noise again from about 6am. Second night much quietier. Bedding and towels clean. Rooms are very run down. Did not use kettle and full limescale and dirty.

Fiona Apr 14, 2025 06:03:41 PM

Summary: Lovely old pub, nice friendly staff. We booked the large double which was extremely comfortable, great pillows. The only let down was the cold, it was freezing. Heating wasn't working. This wouldn't put me off staying again, as it's a really nice place

Dean Apr 11, 2025 11:02:43 PM

Summary: Lovely pub, nice room and very friendly staff

Anthony Mar 12, 2025 07:42:19 PM

Summary: Good location for us half a hour from the ferry port. Room size ok for us. Overall the room was a bit tired and could benefit from an update. The items we noted were:- One failed and one failing light bulb on the main light made the room a bit dim. Wobbly toilet seat Plug in the washbasin was not attached and was difficult to use. Beside tables were rickety and needed attention. Missing top on the coffee machine water container makes it is unhygienic and put us off using it. Staff could have been more cheerful, not one smile. We are highlighting these issues because we are not responsible for any of these problems, damage or defects.

Maggie Mar 8, 2025 06:06:00 PM
