Liked: Staff & service
Staff were helpful but the noise from drunk patrons late at night was excessive. There is also a boat business directly behind the apartments so we got that noise and smell from them during the day. On a positive note It’s definitely well located for shopping and eating We have stayed at other Nightcaps and have been happy but this is one I would not recommend.

Comfy one night stay

Check in was messy but got sorted and an extra fee drink in the bar soothed the minor frustration. Staff were friendly. Room was big and comfy. Parking was limited so get in quick and finding the place was odd as it's set back off the road. Bistro meal was very good value though having my main arrive when I'd barely started my entree seemed odd. A busy but vibrant pub - it was Father's Day. Central and near shops and the manager had good advice about things to do.

Perfect location for my needs, late check-in was handled well by very pleasant staff member. The room was clean, well presented, lovely new bed with well laundered bed linen and towels, the room seems to be nicely updated. I have stayed here before and would not hesitate to stay again, very happy with my time here.

Perfect for our three night stay. We ate at the hotel each night. Meals and service were great. Just disappointed in our meal on the third night but would not hesitate to go back. Location was perfect. Room was good size. Bed very comfortable. Looking forward to our next visit.

We stayed one night before running the marathon so stay was short. We were right next to the beer garden so was loud when trying to sleep. Had we been there for another reason it probably wouldn’t have been an issue. Really nice to get a free welcome drink voucher. That was very cool and staff were very friendly and helpful.
