Lovely stay
Very nice hotel right on the docks. Lovely and clean and very modern. Room was nice and quiet and the bed was very comfy. Breakfast was a great deal too with lots to choose from. We parked right outside and the charge was £15 for 24 hours which we thought was fair. Would stay again if we are ever back in the area.
