The Pier Rooms

This was exactly what I needed on my way to the ferry. Small but clean.

Stayed at The Pier Rooms for 3 nights, highly recommend staying here. Literally a minute walk from train station and ferry terminal for visiting the nearby islands with the town centre and buses only a couple of minutes walk. My room was very clean with a kettle, bottle of water, tea, instant coffee etc. hairdryer. Air con was very good, not noisy. The housekeeper was lovely and very helpful as I hadn't received my entry instructions, she sorted it straight away. There's a swipe card for entry once your in the room which I preferred to using my phone. Bed was very comfortable, I slept very well. Shower was easy to use and I liked the rainfall style. I will definitely stay here again as suited my needs perfectly and I felt safe staying here as a female solo traveller.

Not as I expected, very small and dark room with an unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom. I booked expecting a better quality due to the 8.2 rating on hotels.com, definitely not more than 7.2 in my opinion. The room is pretty dark and claustrophobic. Our room had a bathroom adapted for the disabled which made it not so suitable for myself and my husband. The sink was tiny with no plug which made washing difficult and the wet room style bathroom completely flooded when taking a shower which then meant you got wet feet when using the toilet for the next few hours. The bed was okay but not fantastic and as it was against the wall, i had to climb over my husband to get out of bed in the night to use the bathroom which then woke him up, not ideal. I didn’t have any contact with the owner or anyone else as it is an unmanned property. The location is fantastic but was difficult to find, clearer directions when booking was confirmed would have been very helpful. There isn’t parking anywhere near to the rooms and no road access either as it is literally on the pier, again, this information would have been helpful instead of having to go into the ferry office to see if they knew where it was. Overall a very basic rental which might suit many travellers but not for me unfortunately.

It's like staying in a cave. No windows at all....in my room anyway. Room very tidy and good bathroom. Location was the main reason to stay here.

Rather pricey for a windowless room with a bed accessible only from one side; but for one night met our needs
