Lifeboat Inn

Great location with view of Harbor. Breakfasts were delicious but some mornings were better organized than others. Staff was friendly and helpful. Daily room cleaning was not consistent. Clean cups, glasses, sugar refills would have been nice. Room was not refreshed at all one day. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Lovely room overlooking the Harbour, very steep stairs, but not a problem if fit and able. Room was quite dusty. No room service, but when we asked we could get further supplies of towels, toilet roll/coffee. Be warned, we were woken every morning very early (5.40am on Monday with loud noise for around an hour) with bin lorries, street sweeper and recycling lorry emptying bottles and rolling bins down the side alley, which even ear plugs cannot drown out and each day before 6.30am. Didn't affect us too much, but if you like to sleep in, this place is not for you.

Fantastic apartment style accommodation with views over the harbour. Swam in the harbour, ate at the pub, ventured out to many sightseeing spots! A great stay !

This seems to be a restaurant with rooms upstairs rather than a hotel with a restaurant downstairs. It started a couple of days before when the hotel sent a message saying that "some rooms" have steep stairs and to notify them if that was an issue, so they could best accommodate. I was a little caught off-guard, but just replied I would have heavy luggage and it would probably be best to be placed in a room that wouldn't require the steep stairs. I received no reply and, upon checking, found that all rooms have steep stairs. The room I received was on the top floor with ALL the steep stairs. After a long travel day, I arrived exhausted and hungry. The hostess at the restaurant checked in hotel guests. They were having some sort of trivia night, and it was busy. I kind of felt like I was interrupting their work at the restaurant. She rushed me to my room and kindly helped me carry the big suitcase up all the stairs. I was then told that there would be no table for me to eat at the restaurant that night, but there were other food options nearby. My room...very hot and stuffy. Windows open as far as they go, and a fan that barely blew. I did not sleep well. Outside...loud throwing of bottle-filled bags and LOUD deliveries at 6:00 AM. I put the "please service my room" sign up because I needed coffee supplies; no one came. I never saw a person outside of the girl who checked me in, other than the server at breakfast. PROS...Good breakfast with a guaranteed table and decent room.

I can’t say enough good about the location of this hotel. It is literally along the harbor walkway with a view of the little bay And it is very cute and quaint outside. Other than that, it could use a lot of help. We rented the little apartment in the Inn that had one bedroom and a sitting area with a pullout couch and then upstairs had a little living room and kitchen. We were a party of three adult sisters, and there was a queen bed and a pullout bed. The pullout bed was so bad that she found it much more comfortable to sleep on the couch upstairs. It is a very old house, so just be warned that the stairs are very steep, and the floors are not all perfectly horizontal. The kitchen was partially furnished, but no forks and no butter knives at all. The shower was fine, but you had to flush the toilet at least three times to get it to actually flush. We had driven and there is no parking so you need to pay for a parking at somebody’s house/driveway that they are willing to rent. We did this online separately from the. Hotel When we arrived the hostess at their Restaurant was the one that gave me the key. No papers whatsoever and when we checked out, I had no way of finding anybody because the restaurant was closed and the doors were locked. Unfortunately it is not well run. But we did feel lucky to stay in the location. It’s a very cute little town.
