"Superb boutique hotel! If you are visiting the Dockyard or Gunwharf it couldn't be more convenient. Staff are welcoming and friendly. Rooms aren't huge but are perfectly adequate. They are clean, the beds are comfy, the shower is great with plenty of hot water. We both had the full English breakfast which was delicious and there was plenty of it. Would definitely recommend this hotel"
