OK hotel in great location

Liked:The hotel is in a great location, walking distance to the main harbour. It is a charming old place and the rooms are all unique and a mixed bag. Our king room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. Car parking available for our hire car.

Disliked:There was no coffee and tea facilities in the room which would have been helpful. There is no lift but there was a man on hand to help lift bags up the stairs. There are approx 15 steps up to the hotel then steps up to level 2 and 3, and also down to the cafe. Not wheelchair accessible. The Manager is a little rude/invasive and does not know information regarding the area. He advised us we would not get a 5 seater taxi and it is very expensive, but we did and the fare split 5 ways is not expensive. He also dissuaded my 82 year old mother not to go on the horse and cart ride as it was expensive (even though we were splitting it 5 ways) and told her to walk it instead (which she is unable). The James Bay Inn restaurant/pub downstairs is a good atmosphere but the meals are horrible and overpriced and the waitress was snarky and condescending.
