Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Mayflower from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests frequently praise the spacious rooms and bathrooms, some featuring walk-in showers and roll-top baths, not to mention the convenience of tea and coffee making facilities. The Mayflower's location is ideal, placing you within a short walk of both the quay and the historic town center. Many have enjoyed the food, particularly the burgers, and the breakfast, with its generous selection; however, a few guests have noted extractor fan noise in some rooms. The beer garden also stands out as a lovely, spacious feature.

Average Stay, Some Issues Noted

dirty bathroombright exit light
The room I occupied was not up to standard. The bathroom had not been properly cleaned. There was visible dirt on surfaces. A bright exit light cast a glow throughout the room at night. It certainly disrupted my sleep and affected the overall quality of my stay.
