An interesting B&B/Hotel. The Black Rooster looks like Topsy, in that it just grew and grew. So there are three (I think) properties which together make up the accommodation. They are side by side but not interconnected. Check in and check out were quick and easy. Checkout is particularly so. The instruction in the room is "leave your key and go" We rented what was listed as a studio, and it was ideal for us. It could be described as a small bed sit with a lovely large bathroom. The equipment was adequate for basic cooking, the bed was very comfortable, and location was great. There was also a communal kitchen but it looked unloved and unused. There was also customer laundry but we didn't make use of that. The one staff person (manager?) we met was friendly and professional. Although listed in the B&B section there is only breakfast if you make it yourself, at least in the section we were in. We enjoyed our stay and would return.

The only tin opener in captivity was broken. I think it was the one used by Noah on the Ark.

Liked the abundant space of the living room. Kitchen was well equipped.

That we had to dispose the trash ourselves. Apartment must be cleaned anyway after our 1 night stay. Didn't like that there was no air conditioning. We stayed in a heat wave and with the apartment being located in the 1st floor, we did not feel safe sleeping with open windows. Sleeping resulted uncomfortably hot. Would not stay again in summer or longer. Bathroom was tiny.

Every phone call prior to our stay was met with an answer. The house managers were so accommodating, even stayed up until 3 am for us, as our train was 6 hours delayed. We traveled with our mobility scooters and we were given an area to park them securely. The rooms were nice and clean and spacious. Loved the community kitchen and dining area.. And free coffee in the kitchen.. we were happy. We were even given ideas for where to go, what to etc. Really, we could not have asked for anything more.

We have stayed at the Black Rooster before and we really enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of this place. There is a communal kitchen where we shared travel stories with other guests. It is a short 5 minute walk into town. We arrived very late on the ferry and check in was very easy.

There is no elevator so you must be able to carry your luggage up a few flights of stairs. It was no problem for us.

Very beautiful suite modern spotlessly clean awesome shower new fridge stove everything a person needs to enjoy themselves.

The suite could use a ceiling fan and another window in the bedroom one blind wouldn’t close properly something was blocking it from going all the way down so we had to the street light shining right through the kitchen window and the sensered kitchen light came on in the morning all by itself so I eventually had to unplug it.

Clean, comfortable, easy access and parking. Had everything we needed in terms of kitchen and living room.

We were at ground level facing the road, so car noise and ppl just passing our window was often. The bathroom is tiny and we needed to maneuver just to sit on the toilet, plus there was no hand hold shower head making with lower water pressure difficult to really get a full shower.

We’ll located. Clean. Simple. Parking was good. I’d stay there again.

Needed more than 2 towels but was not sure where to get them as we arrived back late each day. An extra set would have been helpful. A fan in the room would be a good idea. They did supply coffee supplies, soap…no tea towels just napkins.

Loved the privacy of our own room! So clean and quiet! Reservation requests were all met with no problems. Being shared accommodation, we had our own bathroom with heated floors! We were the only ones in the building, so had the whole suite to ourselves.

Access to front street parking was somewhat inconvenient.

There are 3 separate houses that make up this property, all with different personalities. My room was in the newest building, large and quiet with a balcony, contemporary decor, very nice bathroom with large tub. Huge shared kitchen/dining area (spotless) and a great room with comfy couches, so is great for groups as well as solo travellers. Onsite laundry facilities. Convenient free parking

My room was up 3 fairly steep flights of stairs, not a problem for me but plan to travel light and ask for a lower room if mobility is a problem.

the room was over and above my expectations, very clean had all the emeneties and then some, quiet neighbour hood, very comfortable beds, everything was very new, shower was amazing.the one thing that i thought was fantastic was the coffee i had in the morning it was just regular coffee the same coffee i have at home not some other brand that really doesn't taste good or way to dark and strong just a real nice taste of home thank you.

honestly i can't say that there was anything i didn't like about the black rooster.
