Went to make coffee for supper and that is when the trouble started. Long Life milk rotten, use by date out by a month. Shampoo had obviously been used before. Had to ring owner... More

Our second stay in room 8 albeit 23 years apart. this is a beautiful sun drenched room. The quaint touches are appreciated and the breakfast was excellent. The location is perfect and I think a reasonable price.

After not running into anyone who had stayed there and booking sight unseen, I was a bit wary but when we arrived (later than reception hours but they were lovely to deal with given our lateness) we were absolutely gobsmacked with what we found -...

We recently stayed at the Steampacket Inn and had a wonderful experience. The old world charm and hospitality made us feel at home and being right on the port it is so close to all the restaurants and hotels in the area. Top that off with a great breakfast it was a perfect stay.
