Situated on the town's main thoroughfare, Commercial Street, literally just a stone's throw from the harbour, they make an ideal base for tourists, coach parties, visiting yachtsmen or business travellers and, both hotels offer quick and easy access to all the amenities you would expect to find in a busy town centre including, free car parking, banks, Tourist Information Centre, local shops, harbour, bus, ferry and taxi services.
