"Second stay. Room was fine for 4 of us. Staff always pleasant and helpful. Kids outdoor play area is small but private so you can have a drink and keep an eye on the little ones at the same time. Free parking. Drinks are reasonable for a pub chain. Didn’t have chance to try the pub menu, we would stay again as it’s 5 minutes from the main centre and harbour area"
