Located next to the harour, ideal if you're catching the ferry to Lundy. Good food and beer.

Great location but a bit tired, however, I suspect it is a listed building so their hands may be tied.

Hotel was dated but clean and tidy, check-in was confusing you go to the property to be sent to an office next door to check in then back in the pub to access rooms. Staff very friendly despite being very busy. Room was spacious but clean and tidy. Bathrooms look nice at first glance but clearly some plumbing issues as shower tray flooded, back of toilet cistern leaked so needs some maintenance but bathroom was still clean. Given some of the reviews we were very pleasantly surprised with our stay and would stay again.

Room very basic, not the cleanest. Bathroom smelt weird! I think drain smell. Could also smell cigarette smoke inside the hotel. Breakfast staff helpful and friendly. I would not recommend this place. Over priced for what it was.

Great location. Couldn't ask for better but the hotel was run down, shabby (but not chic!). CoVID aside they still could have cleaned room before we got there. It Was quite filthy. Couldnt see in the mirror for dust. Beds were planks of wood screwed together, quite crude. And the room had musky smell.

The room was nice, comfortable and cleanliness was acceptable.
The lights above the bed didnt work, and it was a bit noisy from the street below.
In my honest opinion it was a bit overpriced for just a room however i would stay there again.

Stayed here for 1 night with a friend as we were just passing through. This place is a dump. It's a scruffy pub in a great location just on the harbourside. The common rooms and area's felt grubby and uncared for. Our triple room was very basic, scruffy, and uncared for too. The shower room was small and the shower itself was just a trickle of water. The shower door didn't close as the bed stopped it. Also, with no exceptions, the staff were unfriendly, unhelpful and curt. Avoid this place if you can, it's rubbish
