"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."
