We booked a room unbeknown it was for a disabled person, wheelchair access. There was no mention on your website that it's also suitable for a disabled person. Having one side of the bed against the wall, was totally uncomfortable.

The room was nice and close to the ferries. If I had a little comment I would suggest they clean the showers better as there was mould in the shower. The sheets were nice and high quality, the pillows a little hard but I know I could have changed these. Overall I would book this hotel again

I must compliment the staff who were so friendly and helpful. The rooms, while on the smaller side are really well designed, comfortable, with luxury finishes and everything you need. Loved the steamer for my clothes! Breakfast was delicious. A very welcoming, boutique vibe.
