Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offered a great stay with spacious rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient location. However, the lack of included dining options was a downside. The facilities were modern and well-kept, providing good value for the money.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms offer lovely views, great facilities, and having a jacuzzi on the upper floors was a fantastic touch. The service was exceptional with top-notch room service, housekeeping, laundry, and even pet amenities available. The location couldn't be better, right in the centre of Dartmouth overlooking the estuary. The dining experience, although not included, was delightful with homemade marmalade. Overall, a great choice for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
The hotel offers a great view and good breakfast but lacks exterior windows in some rooms and has a spa bath available. The service is exceptional with room service, housekeeping, laundry, and a delightful welcome drink. The location is vibrant right in the center of Dartmouth with easy access to order a taxi. Dining options exclude breakfast but feature delicious crêpes. The facilities are well-equipped to ensure a pleasant stay.
My stay at the hotel was simply delightful! The location is perfect, with easy access to the ferry to Greenway and stunning views of the harbor. The rooms were cozy but lacked an exterior window, and the spa bath was a luxurious touch. The breakfast was delicious, but it would have been even better if there were more options. Overall, a great value for the money.
