Room a bit small for two people but great situation for getting to boat trips early morning after a good breakfast. Also close to The Poole Arms pub that does good fish/ seafood.

Warm welcome at check-in. Fantastic breakfast with fruit, yoghurt, juice, excellent coffee and choice of cooked options. The room was quite small and the bed was not particularly comfortable for 2 people. The bathroom was small but the shower worked well. There were tea/coffee/hot chocolate making facilities and a hair-dryer and magazines provided. The owner was very friendly and informative about restaurants and how to get to the station.
