Loved by The Bay Horse Hotel guests
"I was so glad to find a clean, comfortable room at a cheap price within easy reach of public transport and restaurants."
"We picked this place because it was the only one that didn't charge at all for our 2 dogs that other places made staying ridiculously expensive."
