Comment from Hotel Management

Jan 22, 2024 by Boathouse

We are new owners of the Boathouse Hotel and we took over the hotel on 21 October 2023. Your review is for a stay prior to us taking over. We agree that the standards here were shocking. Cleanliness left a lot to be desired, we were mortified at what we saw when we took over and I personally blitzed 3 bathrooms which took me nearly 4 hours!! We also agree it hasn't been well-kept and has clearly lacked maintenance. We have addressed many failings of the hotel since taking over, including guest and staff safety in repsect of a new fire alarm system, essentail electrical maintenance and a new heating boiler. We have also replaced windows in many rooms, bought new beds, pillows, mattresses and duvets, fixed the roof, had various plumbing works carried out, improved the garden, and reducing carbon footprints. Decor is next, though we can't paint the outside until the weather improves :( and the cost of the above improvements are obviously high, so we won't be able to fix everything straight away - more is the pity!!! However, we have an enormous task ahead of us, but fingers crossed you'll give us another go in the future. Thanks,The Boathouse Team

Location

Stayed one night awaiting ferry next day. Sort of rundown, but fine for a night. Out of town,but within an easy walk.
