What a fantastic location....close to the town and the ferries with parking outside, how ideal!! Or at least we thought...we decided to have breakfast on the final morning and were greeted less the favourably by the owner (we assumed) and he was nothing short of rude as we hadn't booked!!! Some passers by tried to stop for food too and... More

Visited: July 2009. =Accommodation: Accommodation within a restaurant/pub premises, conviniently with a separate entrance next door and a key provided for hassle-free entrance straight from the street. A steep climbing of narrow attic-like stairs, in my case to the top floor, so a lot of luggage could be a problem. Once at the top, ample space, especially the bathroom with... More

We picked Blakes for the price and location. Sadly, we did not get a decent sleep when we stayed there. The boiler in our room was so noisy that every time someone uses the loo, there was a piercing noise filling our room. The bed was so bad that my husband and I were forced to roll right in the...

Our stay here didn't get off to the best of starts: 'you're early', we were advised by the owner on arrival, 'I'm not ready for you yet.' And this after a five hour drive down from the Midlands on the day after 'the big snowfall'. We'd been asked to suggest an arrival time and had taken a stab at 6... More

My wife and I stayed one night in Blakes after returning fromm France. We were very happy with our short stay, our hosts were very welcoming and advised us of the best fish and chippery in town (they were right) and the breakfast we had in the morning was hands down the best breakfast we've had at any hotel, anywhere...

The owners were very nice. Free internet. TV. You do (or I did) have to climb stairs but the owner carried my bag. Easy walk to the center of town. You could hike to Doveer Castle from there but you need to be in great shape. It was quiet when I was there--a bit worried as they have a popular... More

Blake's is an older hotel but is well-maintained and clean. We had a room on the second floor which boasted high ceilings. free wireless internet and large windows. They offer a full English breakfast if you order in advance and it will leave you...well, full! Ww thoroughly enjoyed the Pub downstairs and joining in the banter with the locals. We... More

I think the hotel was good. The room was spacious and comfortable. There were 4 of us staying in a family room, 4 adults. The room was enough big for four adults. The ceiling is high so it feels big. The only problem is the location. Our room faced a very busy street, if you sleep the window open then... More

Arrived on a Saturday for one night before joining a cruise ship. Double room, single occupancy. My children recommended the place. The hotel door was locked when I arrived about 5pm but a sign directed me to the basement which housed a busy pub bar. A friendly local phoned the landlord who turned up eventually and checked me in. I... More
