“My stay at The Moorings felt genuinely welcoming, particularly the surprisingly spacious rooms with their clean, comfortable setups and the welcome sight of secure bike parking. The location along Neptune's Staircase offers some truly remarkable views, and the staff, despite apparent pressures, managed to be exceptionally friendly and professional throughout. Breakfast was a solid start to the day, featuring essentials like good scrambled eggs and fresh croissants.”
