As you will see by the image, the view from the bedroom which we stayed in is second to none. A lot of work has been done to the hotel, and a lot more is being done. For the price we paid, we were very pleased with the hotel. The room was clean, nice and quiet even though we looking... More

Although this listing is in the hotel section, we recently visited the pub for dinner and thought it would be worth a review of our experience in the pub. We visited on a Sunday afternoon at about 16:00. Many of the pubs in the area had stopped serving and so we were happy to find the Britannia still serving food.... More

The hotel itself is situated above a pub and close to other pubs, but while staying there we were not disturbed as all. The lady that checked us in (? the manager) was lovely and made us feel very welcome. The room was slightly on the smaller side but was suitable the bathroom was not great, the shower was very...

Stayed here one night in May. Rooms are above a pub but I didn't notice any noise from down stairs. The room was basic but nice enough. The only down side was the bed being a bit sinky in the middle. Otherwise it is in a good spot close to the harbour with a brewery down the street and ice... More

I haven't stayed in any of the hotel rooms but I know a few people who do and I haven't heard any complaints. I do, however, often visit the downstairs pub and I always have a good time when I go. The staff are very friendly/accommodating and they have two pool tables you can play pool at. Plus the back... More

Stayed a couple of nights with some friends. The room and bathroom were well presented, warm and clean. The bed was firm and comfortable. Breakfast was good and hearty. Yes the place needs some updating but that is clearly being addressed with work nearly complete on a brand new wooden staircase. The staff were all friendly and helpful. There is... More

We visited the first time on a special offer and had a lovely time. We went back on the same special offer but had to cancel due to illness. The owner let us rebook at no extra cost and added a Saturday night to our booking at a really good price and upgraded our room for both nights. We love... More

I have stayed in The Britannia over the past 2 weeks and I couldn't fault it, if I faulted it I wouldn't have kept on staying, it's a quirky and old which I think is good :) the location is good as it out of the way from the town and is right next to the harbour which sets the... More
