We loved where this place was with a lovely spacious room looking out across the harbour. The car park was a little way and the stairs up to the room were steep but worth it for a very well furnished and decorated room. Staff always friendly and helpful

Great location, stairs up to/inside a problem Location excellent but the stairs up to and inside the apartment are very steep and narrow. Nowhere on the listing does it say there are stairs inside the apartment and you have to go upstairs to the bedrooms and downstairs then up again to the bathroom which is very difficult and a little dangerous at night in particular. Old building so I understand and the headroom in the bathroom is restricted. I banged my head a few times. If I knew about the stairs into and inside the apartment I would not have booked it. Listing says free bottled water, there was none, 2 toilet rolls on arrival and had to supply after that even though I asked for more.

Mooie locatie met uitzicht op haven Ontzettende vriendelijke mensen bij deze pub/B&B. Mooie nette kamers, alleen de waterdruk is niet geweldig. Lekker ontbijt

Evening meal. Staff sorted us a window table as requested when we booked (they won't guarantee this but will try to oblige). Helpful waitress advised us we might be a bit overwhelmed by "large" fish and chips, so we opted for small. I like to think her advice was based on not wishing to jeopardise my modelling career, but it could be she simply thought it would be too much for a scrawny pensioner like me. Either way, we struggled to eat it all so it was a good suggestion. The fish, well the batter especially, was a bit overdone for my liking, but that's just my taste Overall, a pleasant evening, in nice surroundings, made more so by cheerful and helpful servers. Only one thing marred our visit, and that was completely outside The Lifeboat's control. That was the decision of the deadbeat scuffer at the next table, accompanied by his Thai bride, to let rip a gigantic fart. Fortunately we'd finished eating or his hair would have been made yet more greasy and lank by the addition of my bowl of tartar sauce. I can only hope his next such effort coincides with a freak electrical storm, resulting in an explosion which blows his Little Tommy Tinkler right off.

Me and my friends had a Fabulous dinner. We were greeted at the door by friendly staff who then made us feel welcomed straight away! All of them was great but one staff member stuck out to us. It was a young blonde lady called Katie. She was bubbly and happy to look after our needs. She will go great places
