The Old Forge Seafood Restaurant and Bed and Breakfast

Breakfast was a very nice cooked breakfast followed by toast and marmalade as much tea/coffee, fresh fruit juice and as much tea and coffee you wanted. Evening meal was excellent. Staff team were lovely and nothing to much trouble.

Lamps by the bed.

It’s an old property, well looked after, warm and welcoming

Exceptional food served beautifully. Accommodation is perfect for wobbling up to bed after a super evening.

Breakfast (chargeable, despite the impression otherwise on Booking.com) was excellent - full English and nicely done. However, I wasn't asked whether I had any preferences, so fried egg it was, rather than scrambled.

The world needs more characters, but too much and you spoil the guest experience. Colin has a robust sense of humour with an initial greeting when I walked through the door that was more of a challenge than a welcome. He likes to speak to people before they arrive, but if that's the case then don't advertise on online platforms. And when I checked out and (wrongly) thought breakfast was included, then I didn't expect to be lectured in front of other guests. Hospitality is tough at the moment, and customer service here needs to improve. The inn is right next to a main road, so noisier than ideal. The room (I had booked the single with shower) was passable, if basic, with a short bed and décor that had seen better days. Be aware, the shower controls in the ensuite are very stiff and barely usable.
