We arrived quite early and were greeted by friendly staff who did offer us the option of an early check in, as the room was ready, but for an additional fee. (If the room is already made up, this could have been waived). We passed on that and they were happy to look after our bags while we explored the harbour area.
The room was good and the breakfast choice was excellent. Happy hour at the bar was also really good, with friendly and attentive staff.
All round, an excellent hotel and location, with the town centre just a few mins walk away.
Would stay again.
