Likes:
proximity to the harbour
Dislikes:
very noisy pub right next door to my bedroom window
Response from The Harbour Lights:
The Sandpiper Inn, on the opposite corner, has a function room that is occasionally used on a Saturday night for wedding receptions, birthday parties etc. On these occasions it is possible to hear dance music (sometimes a live band) and traffic noise as the event concludes. This is beyond our control and rarely goes on much beyond midnight. We are sorry that your stay with us was spoiled, but we believe that the other advantages of our location by the harbour should outweigh this inconvenience.
