Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Dalrigh House offers a convenient location, often noted for being within a 5-minute walk to town and the pier, making it easy to reach the town center. Guests appreciate the modern, clean, and comfortable rooms, frequently mentioning the large beds, and the lounge area with a wonderful view of the bay where a fridge is available. Some guests have found the 'breakfast included' to be more of a morning snack consisting of items like mini croissants and yogurt delivered to the room.

the room was clean. it had tea and coffee making facilities inside. a large communal fridge was in the common room downstairs. i stored my milk and drinks inside, with a label.

the hotel wasn't manned i saw no reception. i did have a code to open the key box. the room key opened the main door, so everyone had the same key. this was a issue.
