The room was very basic and quite outdated. The TV was small, wall-mounted, and not a smart TV, which made entertainment options limited. Unfortunately, staff from the pub next door often gathered outside our door for their smoke breaks, which wasn’t ideal. On a positive note, the shower had great water pressure, though it was over a bath with a shower curtain — not my preference. Overall, the place is in desperate need of a revamp to bring it up to modern standards.

The property inside was clean and tidy. It was a little bit on the older side and the carpets were a little bit unkempt. The old spiders webs on the outside of the building were an indication of its age. But it was a central and convenient place to stay after watching the penguins.

My sister and I stayed one night in a twin bed room. We ordered a balcony room overlooking the bay, it was lovely to sit out with a relaxing drink. Although we were on the 2nd floor and no lift only stairs, so dragging luggage up was a challenge as was getting it down the stairs. Rooms were spacious and beds comfortable bathroom was huge and we could both fit in front of the mirror with loads of space, would recommend staying here again
