    Large comfortable room. Got off late from the ferry so very convient for a late check in. Really good value for money. Didn't hear much from downstairs once in the room.

    The location was excellent and the food in the restaurant was great. Also a great little bar with live music. The family room was a good set-up and comfortable size.
